Loreta Graužinienė, Speaker of the Seimas, has met with Thea Tsulukiani, Minister of Justice of Georgia, on her visit to Lithuania. During the meeting, the Speaker of the Seimas expressed her appreciation of Georgia’s progress towards European integration and encouraged to actively continue with the reforms in line with the obligations imposed by the Association Agreement.
Mrs Graužinienė assured that Lithuania is ready to share, with Georgian authorities, its knowledge and experience in creating a European legal framework.
