Regnum: Lithuania is a spring-board for Russia to the West

REGNUM

Lithuania is a spring-board for Russia to the West

"Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus has recently been trying to hold out in the capacity of “the Constitution guarantor” by attacking the ruling coalition now and then, just for an image. He has nothing left to do, say political experts, if he wants to retain his authority — for whatever a veto he puts on the Seym's whatever decision, the Seym just makes it void. In fact, in Lithuania the president is a symbolical figure of no real authority. Unless he reminds of himself by harshly criticizing the other power branches, he will be simply forgotten."
