Political stability is crucial and politicians, regardless of the party they represent, must act responsibly. The country has seen three prime ministers over the past six months and has experienced political unrest, which paralyzed it, Grybauskaite told a news conference in Romania.
Political party battles are common in any country, but political maturity means putting the nation first, not political ideologies, the Lithuanian president added.
Romania is ranked last in the European Union regarding fund absorption and missed out on the opportunity to fully use the financial resources it may access as a EU member, Grybauskaite highlighted.
Unless you become responsible, you won’t get enough financial resources from the EU and won’t be able to join Schengen. If that happens, all political parties will share responsibility, Grybauskaite warned.
