President’s advisor Jovita Neliupšienė to become Lithuania’s EU ambassador

Neliupšienė has worked as Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė’s chief adviser on foreign policy since 2009 and has been involved in the coordination of European Council meeting agendas.

“The EU is a live mechanism, therefore, it’s important that Lithuania’s interests match the EU’s internal changes. Having seven-year experience of working as a presidential adviser and having worked with EU issues, I think I will be capable of representing Lithuania’s interests and find friends to support our position,” Neliupšienė told BNS on Tuesday.

The diplomat previously worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lithuania’s Embassy in Belarus and the Institute of International Relations and Political Science at Vilnius University.
