“Obviously, the center is the institution where trust is very important, and here I believe that very sudden decisions must be avoided. However, I will propose to the Seimas Board to organize a working group, which could include both politicians and, necessarily, experts. We will explain this situation further, as it is necessary to strengthen trust in this institution and not ignore the problems that exist, ”said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen after the meeting with the general director of LGGRTC, Adas Jakubauskas.

“We have complaints from the center staff. Today is too early to comment in detail on how well all the complaints are justified. But obviously there are problems. I heard today a determination from the principal to address them. One possible solution is to create a council in the center. She could carry out a very important mission with the help of top-level experts and build confidence, which has fluctuated today, “said V. Čmilytė-Nielsen, noting that it is too early to consider whether A. Jakubauskas is fit. to continue work.
“Today, I would refrain from making such decisions,” he said, noting that he would continue to meet with those involved in the discussion on the quality of LGGRTC’s work.
