Researchers from the Demographic and Family Studies Department at the Lithuanian Centre for Social Sciences have published a study on the Belarusian diaspora in Lithuania. The findings challenge a common stereotype that Belarusians in the country work mainly as long-haul truck drivers and do not intend to stay long-term, according to LRT.
