P. Baltokas stated to “Žinių radijas” on Tuesday that the representation of Lithuania by the Presidents of the EVT has been an established practice for the past seventeen years. He noted that discussions surrounding this representation are not unique to a single issue, as multiple topics are typically addressed during their meetings, suggesting that any deviation, such as a change in seating arrangement or pairing of speakers, would appear rather strange.
Regarding the current discourse on who should represent Lithuania at the EVT, Baltokas suggested that such conversations should be viewed as mere speculation. He added that should any significant change occur, he anticipates that both the Prime Minister and the President would address the matter publicly. According to Baltokas, the ongoing discussions about Lithuania’s official representative at the EVT have been circulating for some time.
He posits that these discussions may be utilized within the domestic political arena as a means to generate internal discord. Therefore, he emphasized that the paramount consideration in this situation must be the best interests of Lithuania as a whole. The commentary provided by Baltocas suggests a cautious approach, urging stakeholders to look beyond political maneuvering when determining the nation’s official stance.
