After meeting with Lithuania’s ambassadors, Grybauskaitė said in a statement that the country’s diplomatic representations should be more responsive to phone calls and enquiries from Lithuanian nationals abroad.

“Like during the coup in Turkey, when it was difficult to contact our diplomatic representations by phone,” Grybauskaitė explained to ELTA.

Lithuanian ambassadors have gathered in Vilnius for a three-day meeting during which they are meeting the president, members of the government and parliament.
