M. Sinkevičius addressed recent public scrutiny concerning his dissertation, which was defended at the ISM Economics and Management University in 2015. The current questioning centers on procedural issues related to the submission of the thesis to the Lithuanian electronic thesis and dissertation (ETD) system.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Sinkevičius stated that he remains completely calm regarding the controversy. He asserted that he personally wrote the dissertation and successfully defended the work publicly over eleven years ago, noting that no objections were raised at that time. While conceding that minor details can sometimes be overlooked, he cautioned that such small discrepancies should not constitute essential flaws in the work.
He observed that there has been an intensification of public interest regarding both his academic contributions and his professional career path. Sinkevičius suggested that such heightened scrutiny might be a predictable element for any official assuming significant public roles. The discussion continues to revolve around the technical adherence to rules governing the submission of his academic record.
