A new survey finds that half of Lithuanians would not like to have a Polish neighbor, in a new indicator that relations between the two geographical neighbours have soured.
According to the opinion poll by GfK Custom Research Baltic, 51 percent of Lithuanians expressed distaste at the idea of having a Polish neighbour, with 27 percent saying “not under any circumstances,” and a further 24 percent declaring that they “would rather not.”
When an identical survey was conducted in 2008, only 9.5 percent declared themselves against the notion of living next door to a Pole.
According to the survey, the most unwanted neighbour in Lithuania is a Roma gypsy, with 87 percent declaring themselves against.
Some 45 percent said they did not want a Jewish neighbour, and 20 percent were against the idea of having a Russian next door.
Estonians were relatively uncontroversial at 14 percent, while Latvians garnered only 11 percent against them.
