A committee advocating for the development of Vilnius was established by Artur Zuokas, the former mayor of Vilnius and a member of the Seimas, alongside his team. During the inaugural congress, Zuokas was elected as the committee’s chairman. Furthermore, the nine members of the committee’s board were confirmed, and two deputy chairmen were elected: Vydūnas Sadauskas, a lawyer and member of the Vilnius City Council, and Antanas Zabulis, a businessman and public figure also serving on the Vilnius City Council.
The founders of the committee articulated a belief that Vilnius possesses significant potential to become one of Europe’s most desirable cities for living, creating businesses, and raising families. However, according to the group, the city’s growth trajectory depends not merely on favorable presentations, but on decisive strategic action and ensuring that the populace feels their input is valued. The committee stated its mission was not one of administrative oversight, but one of active change.
They emphasized that their approach would be collaborative and action-oriented, rather than one of rescue. The establishment of this committee marks a structured effort to guide the future development of Vilnius. The leadership, spearheaded by Zuokas, aims to channel focused energy and commitment into realizing the city’s potential through direct involvement in policy and civic improvement.
