Lithuania’s Žemaitaitis draws controversy over unannounced meeting with Hungarian FM

Remigijus Žemaitaitis, who is a member of the Lithuanian parliament and leader of the ruling Nemunas Dawn party, but holds no government posts, held a meeting with Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó. Žemaitaitis said he saw no reason to inform the government or the president about the meeting, while the prime minister’s adviser criticised the politician for undermining the country’s foreign policy line.
