“Until the consent of the states is obtained, the process is secret. I cannot reveal the names of people or states because that is the law. And anyway, there is also a question of state prestige here,” said G. Landsbergis to journalists after the committee meeting at the Seimas.
The name Vygandas Jankūnas was discussed in public as a possible candidate for the post of ambassador in Brussels.
According to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, he did not present this surname to the Seimas committee.
“No, that name was not entered,” Landsberg noted.
The Minister did not hide his hope that an ambassador to one of the most important countries, the United States, would be appointed as soon as possible.
“I hope very soon. I can tell you and assure you that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is ready and waiting for this vote. I bring you good news, we prepare documents, send them to the host countries and the process will continue soon ”, he emphasized.
According to G. Lansdbergis, the Ministry tentatively agrees with the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Presidency of the Seimas on the surnames presented.
“There is a preliminary agreement that these candidacies and those states are coordinated,” the minister said.
When asked if the so-called silent conversations with the presidency went smoothly, Landsberg said he was trying to focus on the process itself.
“I try to communicate less, negotiate more and promote this process more. Perhaps others will decide otherwise, “said the minister.
Following information in the public sphere that former Foreign Minister L. Linkevičius and former Minister of National Defense R. Karoblis were considered the most realistic candidates for the post of Ambassador to the US and the EU, President Nausėda he said they needed “political cooling.”
Such argument provoked an intense debate. Some said a legal basis was needed for such an order, others supported the president’s view. The former ministers themselves did not comment on the situation.
However, former Interior Minister Eimutis Misiūnas, who also received a negative conclusion from the presidency regarding the return to the post of judge, did not hide his plans to go to court.
