The advisor to Lithuania's Prime Minister commented on Poland's independent choice to not participate in the development of a joint military training ground near the border with Lithuania. He emphasized that this decision was not discussed with the Lithuanian government and is not linked to Lithuania's diplomatic efforts. Each country, he noted, makes decisions on defense infrastructure based on its own needs, which does not change the close cooperation between Lithuania and Poland in the security domain.

Polish media reported that Poland would not be involved in the creation of the Kapčiamiestis military training ground, highlighting a distinct decision-making process on Poland's part. During a recent visit to Suwałki, Polish Deputy Minister of Defense Pavel Bejda reiterated that Poland is not interested in pursuing this initiative. This development reflects the complexities of regional security engagements and how nations prioritize their military infrastructure according to their specific strategic needs.

Despite the lack of collaboration on the training ground project, the advisor reassured that the strong security cooperation between Lithuania and Poland remains intact. Both nations continue to monitor the situation closely and engage in discussions related to defense, even as they make separate decisions regarding military infrastructure. The advisor’s statements indicate a focus on enhanced communication and cooperation in other areas, regardless of this particular issue.
