Deputy heads at Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Welfare reappointed

As the government has been reappointed following President Dalia Grybauskaitė's inauguration for the second term, deputy head at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Welfare return to their posts.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Deputy Ministers of Foreign Affairs Neris Germanas, Rolandas Kriščiūnas and Andrius Krivas, have been reappointed on Friday.

The three will return to office on 21 July.

Earlier on Friday, the Ministry of Welfare and Labour also issued a statement, saying deputy ministers Laisvūnas Bartkevičius, Gintaras Klimavičius and Algirdas Šešelgis have been grated mandate.

Following the so-called vice-minister blacklist scandal, which broke out after the Special Investigations Service alleged it had information on shady dealings of nine deputy ministers, the government came under President Grybauskaitė's pressure to dismiss the suspected officials. The government then decided to dismiss all the deputy ministers in all ministries and have them form the teams anew.
