Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski (pictured) has bluntly criticized Lithuania before the EU saying it was failing to live up to its commitments to ethnic Poles or to Polish investors.

"Poland was a strong supporter of Lithuania's EU and NATO bids and continued to be a loyal partner ever since. But we are not getting reciprocal treatment," said analyst Eugeniusz Smolar.
