Saulius Skvernelis, Speaker of the Lithuanian Seimas Parliament, has said that he sees the possibility that occupied Crimea may be recognised as part of Russia as a threat to international order.
Source LRT, as reported by European Pravda Quote The world order that was established after the Second World War, which established the principle of inviolability of borders, and a precedent is being set that it will be violated.
Then, territorial claims could be made in different ways in Europe.
Quote There is probably not a single country that has not had some kind of conflict over territory with its neighbour in the past.
Details Skvernelis stressed that the worst thing would be if such a precedent was confirmed by the argument of force.
Ive taken it and the international community recognises this.
This really cannot happen, this is a really dangerous moment that could lead to many regional conflicts, the parliamentary leader said.
Background Earlier, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausda said that the possible de jure recognition of Russias control over Crimea would be a ticking time bomb.
This was Nausdas reaction to further statements by US President Donald Trump, who said that Crimea should remain Russian.
