/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Emanuelis Zingeris, member of Parliamentary Committee
on Foreign Affairs, proposes that EU Eastern Partnership Parliamentary
Assembly have centre in Vilnius.

The Lithuanian official anticipates a positive decision, considering
his country an active advocate of EU eastern neighbors.

"Lithuania has greatly contributed to the establishment of a European
Humanitarian University and actively supports Georgia, Ukraine and
Azerbaijan’s efforts. Lithuanian politicians permanently cooperate
with politicians from EU eastern neighbors. Lithuania’s becoming
winner is desirable, considering the country’s role as an advocate
and lobbyist of eastern states," Zingeris noted.

The Lithuanian official believes that political decision on
Parliamentary Assembly’s residence will be favorable for his country
during Switzerland’s chairmanship.

Currently discussions are held for choosing one of EU member states’
towns as residence.
