TRINITI represented a Lithuanian family living in the USA who sought to prove their right to be citizens of the Republic of Lithuania, while remaining citizens of another country, on the grounds and in the manner established by the Republic of Lithuania Law on Citizenship.
Persons deported from occupied Lithuania before 11 March 1990 and/or persons who have left Lithuania before 11 March 1990 and their descendants have the right to be citizens of the Republic of Lithuania and other states simultaneously. This means that such persons may be exempted from the prohibition of dual citizenship.
A citizen of the Republic of Lithuania who is also a citizen of another state shall be considered by the State of Lithuania as only a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania. Possession of citizenship of another state does not release him from the duties of a citizen of the Republic of Lithuania, established in the Constitution, laws and other legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania.
