I find it strange that as a "Vilna Resident" you are not aware of the facts on the ground, i.e. the site of the old Jewish cemetery is indeed being desecrated and demolished.

Jewish delegation visited the Municipality of the capital
2006-05-10

Yesterday Mayor of Vilnius Artūras Zuokas and Deputy Mayor Vitas Karčiauskas accepted delegation of Jewish communities from different countries. During the meeting, questions of further development of previous Jewish cemetery territory (presently the Sports Palace and its approaches) were discussed. Mayor’s advisor Vytautas Toleikis, archaelogist Kęstutis Katalynas, architect Kęstutis Pempė and city development specialists also participated in the meeting.
“We respect, value and understand traditions, culture and history of every nationality. We are absorbed into the historical documents of the old Jewish cemetery and are open for discussions. Though we are not responsible for mistakes, made many years ago, we are ready to solve the questions in united efforts”, said Mayor Artūras Zuokas. While feeling concerned about the future of destroyed Jewish cemetery territory, representatives of Jewish communities seek that peace of Jewish burying places will not be disturbed. During the meeting efforts were made to detect the topographical limits of the former cemetery and discuss further development of this territory.
Remarking that Lithuania is a democratic and lawful country, leaders of the city assured their guests that any accepted decisions will involve respect of the rights of all the nationalities and strict following all the laws of the Republic of Lithuania.
