Relations of Lithuanian, Russian parlts are cold

BC, Vilnius, 28.11.2014.Print version
Seimas Speaker Loreta Grauziniene says that cooperation between the Seimas of Lithuania and the state Duma of Russia is almost non-existent, informs LETA/ELTA.

"We as parliaments do not communicate although we have a group for interparliamentary relations. For the several past years, the form of our cooperation was that members of parliaments take part in sport competitions," she said.

 

Nevertheless, according to Grauziniene, Lithuania's parliament is not completely isolated from Russia's political environment as Lithuanians communicate with Moscow's representatives during various meetings.

 

"There is diplomatic cooperation, however, there certainly is no active and close cooperation with the Duma," the Seimas speaker said on the radio Laisvoji Banga on Friday morning.
