“We had a dialogue with the representative of Russia, because there are also Russian citizens who cross this border,” he said on the air of the Ekho Moskvy radio station.
According to him, the Lithuanian authorities "will also return them."
Adomenas also said that Iraqi citizens make up two-thirds of illegal migrants, so Lithuania will contact the Iraqi authorities, "as well as with other countries."
Earlier, the official representative of the European Commission, Adalbert Yants, commenting on the situation with migrants at the Belarusian-Lithuanian border, said that the EU “repeatedly rejected such use of migrants” by Belarus.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus called the accusations of high-ranking representatives of the European Union in the creation of the migration crisis by Minsk on the border with Lithuania groundless.
