Lithuania
LITHUANIA is one of the Baltic states in north-eastern Europe, bordered by Poland and Russia.
The TV Movie (subtitled?) was screened on local station LNK on Sunday, 25 April 1999 from 20.50pm to 22.20pm under the title "Daktaras Kas". The TV listings for this classified it as a "Komedija" ("comedy")!
The Polish-language Lithuanian newspaper Kurier Wileński billed it as "Doktor Who". (This broadcast would have presumably been seen in neighbouring Poland.)
Amusingly, none of these papers seemed able to agree on the spelling of Paul McGann's name!
According to the IMDB, the TV Movie was shown in Lithuania on Friday, 25 July 2003, however there is no listing at all for the movie on that date on any channel in the Lithuanian TV listing pages available HERE.
The New Series was available on BBC Entertainment (Europe) also under the title "Daktaras Kas".
Lithuania took part in the worldwide simulcast of The Day of the Doctor on 23 November 2013, taking its signal feed from the Russian station NRK.
Dr Who Night Club
Located on Naujojo Sodo St, in Klaipėda, Lithuania, is the "DR WHO NAKTINIS KLUBAS", a night-club / disco. But despite the similar name, it has no direct connection to the TV series.
