&lt;br>
&lt;b>&lt;i>Major investigated questions&lt;/i>&lt;/b>: It was tested respondents' wish that their children and grandchildren admitted to other state's citizenship do not lose the Lithuanian one. Respondents were asked to evaluate consequences of Constitutional Court decision concerning the forbiddance to be Lithuanian citizen and other state's citizen at the same time; as well respondents were asked to provide judgement on negative consequences of the forbiddance (the state of Lithuania and the Lithuanian nation will lose many citizens, Lithuanian citizen rights are abused because citizens of other European countries can have double citizenship) and judgement on positive consequences of the forbiddance (the Lithuanian population will stop emigrating, people with double citizenship make danger to Lithuania).
Respondents were queried on their attitude towards parliament's decision that Lithuanian citizens' children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren preserve Lithuanian citizenship under any circumstances; that citizens of Lithuanian origins have larger rights in the Republic of Lithuania; that Lithuanians living abroad have larger rights in the Republic of Lithuania. Also probed were respondents' views on giving a citizenship to people of non-Lithuanian origins who arrive to live in Lithuania.
