Lithuanian president accepts letters of credence from Greek ambassador

Speaking about the debt crisis in Greece, the president underlined that it was important for the Greek government to overcome domestic instability – to assume responsibility, to deliver on its commitments and to implement reforms in a consistent way.

The president pointed out that Greece was struggling with the burden of an excessive inflow of refugees; therefore the European Union needs to stand united in dealing with this crisis. Lithuania is ready to contribute to the relocation of asylum seekers on a voluntary basis.
