Lithuania Awards Citizenship to American Ice Dancer Allison Reed
American Ice Dancer Allison Reed Granted Lithuanian Citizenship for Outstanding Merits
American ice dancer Allison Reed has been granted Lithuanian citizenship, following a recommendation by the Citizenship Commission. The decree was signed by President Gitanas Nausėda on November 21, 2024, in recognition of her significant contributions to Lithuania's international reputation.
Third Time’s a Charm
Reed had previously applied for Lithuanian citizenship in 2022 and 2023, but both attempts were unsuccessful. This year, her application was approved, with President Nausėda commending her accomplishments, including her partnership with Lithuanian ice dancer Saulius Ambrulevičius, crowned with a bronze medal in a recent international competition.
Key Support and Recommendations
Reed’s merits were supported by several notable entities, including:
- National Olympic Committee
- Lithuanian Skating Federation
- Canada’s Embassy
- Chairwoman of the Lithuanian Canadian Community
Reed, who trains and resides in Canada with her partner, was praised for her active involvement in Lithuanian Canadian communities and her progress in learning the Lithuanian language.
Lithuanian Law on Citizenship by Merit
Lithuanian law allows foreign nationals to obtain citizenship for exceptional contributions to the country’s reputation and standing in the international community. Reed’s achievements in ice dancing were deemed to significantly strengthen Lithuania’s global recognition.
Lithuania’s Population in 2024
According to Lithuania’s Official Statistics Portal (OSP), the country’s population reached 2.8 million in 2024.
- Largest resident nationalities:
- Ukrainians: 52,915
- Belarusians: 38,074
- Russians: 10,945
Additionally, 354 Americans reside in Lithuania, alongside 573 Latvians, 327 Poles, and 307 Germans. Stateless individuals number 1,878, while 3,564 residents come from other nationalities.
Reed’s Gratitude
Expressing her appreciation, Reed described her journey to citizenship as not only about applications but also about embracing Lithuania’s culture and language. Her dedication exemplifies the spirit of Lithuania’s law on citizenship by merit, further solidifying her ties to the country.
