"We would like very much to be able to endorse a new government by that time, and also endorse a new chief of defense, finish the session and sing the anthem," Speaker of the Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis said.
Depute Speaker Rima Baskiene confirmed that candidates for prime minister and chief of defense would be considered on July 16-18, and also new ministers will be sworn in.
"We believe that if everything goes smoothly, we could finish the session on the 18th," she said.
Nauseda will be inaugurated on July 12. Under the Constitution, the government returns powers to a new president.
