GRUNWALD - Thousands of tourists and history buffs have joined Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite and her Polish counterpart to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the victory of Polish-Lithuanian forces over the Teutonic knights in one of the middle-ages' most important battles.
"Today is a very special day. Today, on this historic battlefield, we celebrate one of the greatest victories in our history - a victory that ended more than one hundred year long aggression against the region," Grybauskaite said.
It reminds us all how much we can achieve when we are together. I am speaking not only about Lithuanians and Poles. I have in mind here all of us who 600 years ago participated in the Battle of Grunwald and made victory possible," she said.
