Give Moscow the right to organize the Mundial - a stupid idea. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Linas Linkevicius. According to him, every step of Russia is dictated by the policy: they say that all cultural and sporting events the Kremlin uses for propaganda. FIFA officials agreed to this and allowed to host the 2018 World Cup in Russia. "This is a stupid idea!" - said Linkevichus in an interview with Radio Free Europe ". Dissatisfied with the head of Lithuanian diplomacy and the position of European politicians and officials.

He tried to persuade them to boycott the event in the Russian Federation, but so far only Britain and Iceland have stated that none of their official officials will come to the World Cup - however, they tied this decision to "the case of Skripal". So the Lithuanian Foreign Minister is disappointed - he could not achieve any coordination from European politicians. World Cup 2018 starts in Russia on June 14. The team selected 14 European countries. Lithuanian national team is not among them.
