Davis told Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis it was in Britain’s "interest" to see the "European Union succeed when we leave". He also assured Baltic leaders that Britain wants to preserve equal rights for EU citizens living there following Brexit. "We want a generous outcome" for both EU citizens living in Britain and Brits in the EU, Davis told Lithuania’s Skvernelis. Hundreds of thousands of EU citizens living and working in Britain, a majority from eastern EU states like Poland, are demanding that their rights be protected despite Brexit. Earlier in Riga, Latvian Foreign Minister Rinkevics insisted the EU member states would not be divided when it comes to Brexit talks between Brussels and London.
