Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius’s Speech on Government Performance 2009 at Seimas
2010/04/15
The Government Performance Report 2009 covers activities carried out by the Government over one of the toughest years throughout the two decades of the Independence.

Today we have a good opportunity to carefully and calmly review the whole year, not only by listing what was or wasn‘t done, but also answering to simple questions: why we got entangled in such a crisis, and what conclusions we can draw from this as well as what challenges are still in store for us.
