For the last 20 years Mr. Juozas Adamonis, a Lithuanian citizen, has been living at the Byelorussian - Lithuanian border, and so close to it that the well was located some 20 metres on the other side of the border, between his house in Lithuania and his Byelorussian neighbour in Byelorussia. 
  -  Before they were issuing border passes so I could pass the border legally and get to the water, but now I don't care. I don't have water pipes into my house and I cannot wait for permission every time I need water, Mr. Adamonis tells when we are visiting his home at Streziunai in Varena region.

Mr. Juozas Adamonis standing on the Byelorussian - Lithuanian border. The well is 20 metres behind his back, in Byelorussia.  In order to survive at his farmstead he needs to violate the border several times every day.  The border officials have not yet discovered how they shall solve this headache as the law tells he needs a permission nobody today has a power to issue.
