Summary/Abstract: Thank you for the analytical study, the link to which you sent to me and which – as I have been already informed – will be published in the academic journal ”Lithuanian Foreign Policy Review”. I have read this report quite thoroughly, and, despite the significant value of its content, I would like to stress and point out some general, controversial issues. As you probably know, I was one of those who signed the letter of Polish intellectuals to the Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs in support of the liberal Lithuanian intellectuals in their aspirations to ease and repair Polish-Lithuanian relations, and to base them on the common (although rarely interpreted in the same way) tradition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and its glorious past as one of the most tolerant and powerful states in Europe of its time.
