Your rights will not be protected in Lithuania unless you have a lot of money

 "In order to complain to the prosecutor's office, you need to properly write a statement, and this can cost 200 euros or more with a good lawyer.

 

      If the prosecutor's office rejects it, then you can complain twice, each filing of the complaint starts at 300 euros.

 

     If you do not convince the prosecutor's office - going to court as a private prosecution - drawing up a lawsuit from 500 euros plus stamp duty, representation at all court hearings costs another 200 euros.

 

     That is, in other words, at the moment, the victim must have at least 4000 euros in addition to medical expenses to prove his truth! Such judicial work sends a clear message to the public that although laws prohibiting coercion or violence exist, they are completely ineffective."
