April 1, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Lithuanian migration authorities will consider the residence permit application by Aleh Bar\u0161\u010de\u016dski, a prominent Belarusian journalist, within three months, BNS<\/em> reported<\/a>, citing the migration department\u2019s head, Evelina Gudzinskait\u0117.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He may be granted an extension of his residence permit because his children are Lithuanian residents, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official denied reports of Bar\u0161\u010de\u016dski\u2019s deportation disseminated by Na\u0161 Dom, an NGO associated with the journalist\u2019s wife Volha Kara\u010d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bar\u0161\u010de\u016dski, a former editor of the independent newspaper, failed to apply for a residence permit extension because he was hoping to obtain asylum, Gudzinskait\u0117 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Migration authorities have not launched deportation procedures after assessing the risks, as they do in cases involving Belarusian nationals, she noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August, BNS<\/em> reported that Lithuania had turned down Kara\u010d\u2019s request for political asylum based on alleged links with Russian intelligence services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kara\u010d, whom the Belarusian secret service accused of terrorism in 2021, denied cooperating with any \u201chostile agencies\u201d in Minsk or Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
