The leadership of the Seimas will discuss work during extreme situations in a closed session

The Seimas leadership in Lithuania will hold a closed session to discuss preparations for extreme situations, following discussions among European parliaments.

The leadership of the Seimas, Lithuania's parliament, is set to convene in a closed session to address critical strategies related to operational readiness during extreme situations. This discussion is stemming from a broader dialogue among European parliamentary leaders about the importance of being prepared for unexpected crises. Algirdas Stončaitis, the Chancellor of the Seimas, emphasized the necessity of these discussions, aligning Lithuania's parliamentary discussions with those of other European parliaments.

Stončaitis noted that various topics will be on the agenda, including the organization's preparedness and technical, infrastructural, and legal decisions required to effectively function during a crisis. He indicated that, while specifics of the discussions cannot be disclosed, the meeting will take place in a secure environment designed for handling classified information, highlighting the seriousness of the matters at hand.

This initiative reflects an increasing recognition among European parliaments about the relevance of crisis preparedness, not only in terms of national security but also in safeguarding democratic institutions. Lithuania's engagement in this dialogue can enhance its resilience and response capacity, potentially serving as a model for other nations grappling with similar challenges.
