VILNIUS - People who lost their citizenship under the dual citizenship ban now have the chance to regain it, thanks to an amendment to the Citizenship Law passed by Parliament today.
After a law was passed banning dual citizenship in 2003, Lithuanians who also had foreign citizenship lost their Lithuanian citizenship.
"This will allow people to apply for dual citizenship and recover the Lithuanian citizenship they lost," said Laima Mogeniene of the parliamentary Human Rights Committee.
