On Tuesday “Team Talk International” journalists’ group visited Kaunas city. This journalist’s group create a video reportage of the cities, where the Scottish national team competitions are held. On Tuesday, reporters visited Kaunas City Hall and filmed interviews with the mayor.
“I want to congratulate the “Tartan Army” (Scottish national team fan club), which is coming to Kaunas the third time. Our city is the sport capital of Lithuania. In Kaunas and in all Lithuania the most popular sport is basketball, but football has a long tradition in Kaunas also. Our city team many times became the champion of Lithuania, played with Scottish clubs in European tournaments. Well, I know that Scottish football fans are the best and friendliest in the world, because they have visited Kaunas twice “, - said A. Kupcinskas.
Scottish journalists did not hide that they are probably the most surprising about Lithuanian beer prices. “The beer is incredibly delicious and cheap here” - laughed S. Hall.
