“We had our last service on January 31st, and from February 1st, we started working on the Nineteen18 project with our team. We physically outgrew that place, the premises were only 80 square meters, it seemed natural to leave them and finish, because it was a very personal, small project. It didn’t seem logical to carry this name on. That was the plan, let’s consider it some kind of expansion,” V. Bartininkait\u0117 told Delfi.<\/p>\n
