Lithuania’s deputy culture minister steps down

“I do not want to be an obstacle for the Culture Ministry to work on the projects it has started, also, I do not want to become a tool in those political intrigues that would destroy the trust in the political party which delegated me or the minister who appointed me. Thus, I feel obliged to leave my office. I would like to thank the Labour Party and the minister for their trust,” he said.
