Lituania young peopleSix thousand young people will be arriving in Vilnius to attend a set of events dedicated to the young generations in the Baltic Country. On Sunday a historical event will mark the beatification of the Bishop persecuted by the Soviet regime: 20 thousand people are expected to arrive.
