"The prime minister said at the meeting that Lidl's arrival has increased competition among shops, which creates
preconditions for prices to decline, and that it would be even more beneficial
for Lithuania if Kaufland came
as well," Skvernelis' spokesman Tomas Berzinskas told.
Both Lidl, which opened its
first stores in Lithuania in 2016, and Kaufland
are part of Germany's Schwarz Gruppe.
