Lithuania Euro Ready 14 August 2014

At its second attempt, Lithuania has finally been allowed to officially adopt the euro as of 1 January 2015.

And just as well, as Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius either threatened or promised to resign, depending on your political leaning, if Lithuania failed to become the 19th country to join the single European currency.

After contentiously missing out in 2007 when Lithuania’s inflation rate was 2.63% and not under the required threshold of 2.6%, Lithuania again met all other criteria quite easily.

Lithuanian anti-LGBT laws blocked 27 March 2014

Text: Paul Penny

Amidst the admonitions and international condemnation following the recent introduction of draconian anti-gay laws in Nigeria and Uganda, news from Lithuania (13 March), where a bill proposing Russian-style “gay propaganda” laws was blocked by MPs, came as a relief to LGBT rights activists.

A majority of members of the Lithuanian Parliament voted to bring the proposal to a vote (39 in favour, 34 opposed, with 20 abstentions). However, the anti-gay legislation was defeated because of parliamentary rules that require a threshold of votes to be reached as well as a majority.

Ukraine Struggle Captured 20 March 2014

Back on track, but still a steep climb ahead 7 September 2013

A crucial step towards Lithuania‘s energy independence? 22 August 2012

Response from the Japanese Embassy regarding the article: A crucial step towards Lithuania‘s energy independence?

Mr. Ray Vyšniauskas
LiTnews
Gedimino 1, Vilnius, Lithuania
August 16, 2012

Dear Mr. Vyšniauskas,

As I have read your article “Crucial steps towards energy independence?” in the July/August 2012 edition of LiTnews, I am writing to draw your attention to the following factual inaccuracies:

1.“the Japanese are building the same type of power plant in our area of the world.”

The type of power plant to be built in Visaginas is not the same type as Fukushima nuclear power plant. The reactor type proposed for the Visaginas project is the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR), which is the only Generation III+ reactor with a proven operational record. It is different from the reactor at the Fukushima nuclear power plant, which was designed 30-40 years ago. ABWR licensed in Japan and the United States, excels in terms of safety, operational efficiency and cost performance, which were achieved through the years of research and development conducted by Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, power utilities and manufacturing companies of Japan. Also, in February this year Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda told visiting Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius that Japan would share the experience and lessons learned from the accident at Fukushima and contribute to enhancing nuclear safety in Lithuania

2. “they (the Japanese) are closing all of their own (nuclear power plants).”

We are not closing all of the nuclear power plants. The operation of power plants had been stopped for regular safety inspections, however if proven to be safe through the inspections, the Japanese Government can give permission for power plants to restart the operation, taking the opinions of the local governments and residents into consideration. Through the formal procedures, in June and July, the Japanese power utility Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. received permission for resuming operation of two reactors at the Ohi nuclear power plant and the two reactors are now in operation.

I hope this letter could help you understand better and correctly on the matter.

Sincerely yours,
Kazuko Shiraishi
Ambassador of Japan to Lithuania


The article in question was originally published on the LiTnews website on 10 May, but was updated for publicaton 22 July. The updated article is reproduced here:

A crucial step towards Lithuania‘s energy independence?

Text: Ray Vysniauskas

The Lithuanian government has been busily trying to sign off on the Visaginas Nuclear Power Plant before elections in October.

With polls giving the Kubilius government little chance of holding onto power after October, there has been a great sense of urgency in pushing Visaginas as far as possible, and in making the road to building a new nuclear power plant irreversible.

Both the government and President Grybauskaitė have been pushing the importance of energy independence, wanting to move both the nuclear power station and the proposed LNG terminal forward despite the benign political climate.

Rūta Meilutytė - A Deserving Champion 10 August 2012

Lithuanian Olympic champion Rūta Meilutytė was welcomed home by a large crowd gathered at Vilnius Rotuse recently.

Rūta Meilutytė - A Deserving Champion  10 August 2012  Lithuanian Olympic champion Rūta Meilutytė was welcomed home by a large crowd gathered at Vilnius Rotuse recently.    See full pictures   Rūta Meilutytė won Lithuania’s first gold medal in swimming since independence and astounded not only Lithuania, but the whole world, with her fairy-tale performance.  The 15 year old Rūta has been steadily climbing the junior ranks in her sport, and said that she entered the Olympics only wanting to improve on her personal best performances, and left the rest to fate.  Well fate astounded us all as the youngest swimmer in the 100 metre breast-stroke final surprised her opponents in the heats, bamboozled them in the semis with the fastest qualifying time, and then blew them away in the final where she managed to hold off a fast finishing Rebecca Soni and find that little extra in the last couple of strokes to touch the wall first in an impressive 1:05.47.    Meilutytė swam faster in the heats, but as always, the final is about racing your opponents, and on this occasion she also had to overcome nerves as a technical hitch held up the start as all swimmers waited impatiently for the final to begin.  Pessimism overcome most commentators as they speculated that the young Rūta would be most disadvantaged by the hold-up, but as soon as the race began it was obvious her sole focus was the task at hand, and she went out in her customary fast start.  In earlier races Rūta had established a strong lead in the first 50 and built on it in the home 50, taking her races in reasonable ease.  This time the cream of the world’s 100 metre breaststrokers were all clamouring for the same prize – an Olympic Gold Medal. This was serious.  Again Rūta was fast out in the final, but her margin at the first 50 was not as great as in earlier races. She came off the wall well, and continued powering forward, but 20 metres in it was obvious that Soni was not going to let her get away.  Soni kept at the heels of the Lithuanian teenager and was soon closing the margin and in the last 15 metres was clearly coming over the top of Meilutytė. Indeed most commentators agreed that within a few more metres Soni would have been clearly ahead.  Rūta Meilutytė however said she was aware of the fast-finishing Soni, and dug deep in the last 15 metres to find the extra effort that helped her hold off Soni and touch the wall first.  Even at the end she was not really sure of the win and had to wait an agonising few seconds, that must have seemed an eternity, until her gold medal was confirmed.   The rest is history. The quiet, demure and softly spoken teenager claimed Lithuania’s first gold medal of the London Olympics and the first in swimming for contemporary Lithuania.  Her surprise and delight was obvious and she dealt with the media attention with an endearing mix of shyness and self-assuredness that belied her 15 short years.  The appeal of the girl and wonder of her exploits can be written about at will, but you need no better indication than the sheer number of people who gathered to greet her on return to Vilnius on the evening of Wednesday 8 August, as thousands of Lithuanians cheered her and she was welcomed by President Grybauskaitė during a live television coverage of the event.  The welcome was hosted by Jonas Radzevičius, and included performers Berta Timinskaitė, Neda Malunavičiūtė, Rūta Ščiogolevaitė, Julija, Erica Jennings and Jurgis Didžiulis and Marijonos Mikutavičius before culminating in a fireworks display.   As well as the performances she was surprised by her classmates who met with her onstage as well as family members who were with her throughout the night.  Rūta then held a press conference before heading home to Kaunas with friends and family, where she said she will holiday for three to four weeks before returning to school and training in the UK where she has a swimming scholarship.

Mayor Zuokas on Vilnius 10 August 2011
Text: Ray Vysniauskas

Artūras Zuokas is in his second candidacy as Vilnius Mayor. His first term from 2000 – 2007 was at once heralded as visionary and wasteful, and his second term continues to polarise the community.

The media savvy Zuokas enjoys a high public profile, often seen zipping around Vilnius on his Segway and a recent video of him running over an illegally parked car in a tank went viral on the internet, giving him worldwide exposure.

It is now just over a year since he started his second tenure as the boss of Vilnius and we thought it best for Mayor Zuokas himself to talk about his work and vision for Vilnius and Lithuania.
