Ex-Lithuanian president sees terrorism, economic uncertainty, migration as biggest threats

Hosting an international conference on strengthening transatlantic resilience in Vilnius, Adamkus called on Europe and the United States to focus on threats posed by Russia and China, as well as challenges to transatlantic unity.

“Terrorism, financial, economic insecurity and migration – these are the three threats America and Europe is facing today. But how are we dealing with them? Together as we once resisted to the Communist ideology or individually, the way each of us know?” Adamkus asked.
