    Socialiniuose tinkluose pasirodžius rinkėjų nuogąstavimų, kad Pasaulio lietuvių apygardos rinkėjams paštu iš diplomatinių atstovybių atsiųsti balsavimo biuleteniai yra tikrų biuletenių kopijos, Vyriausioji rinkimų komisija (VRK) informuoja rinkėjus – taip ir turi būti. VRK informuoja, kad Seimo rinkimų antrojo turo metu Lietuvos diplomatinėse atstovybėse nėra naudojami spaustuvėje spausdinti biuleteniai, kadangi jų pristatymas iš Lietuvos į 52 Lietuvos ambasadas ir konsulatus visame pasaulyje užimtų daug laiko, dėl to dalis rinkėjų, balsuojančių paštu, biuletenius gautų pavėluotai ir rizikuotų prarasti galimybę balsuoti. Organizuodama balsavimą antrajame Seimo rinkimų ture, VRK Pasaulio lietuvių vienmandatės rinkimų apygardos rinkimų biuletenio formą išsiuntė visoms Lietuvos diplomatinėms atstovybėms. Jose dirbančios balsavimo komisijos organizuoja pakartotinio balsavimo rinkimų biuletenių dauginimą ir antspaudavimą. Balsavimo biuleteniai, kuriuos užsienyje paštu balsuojantiems rinkėjams siunčia Lietuvos ambasados, yra antspauduojami tų diplomatinių atstovybių antspaudais. Tokia tvarka organizuojant balsavimą užsienyje taikoma jau apie 20 metų tiek Seimo, tiek Respublikos Prezidento rinkimų antrųjų turų metu. Rinkėjus paštu pasiekiančios Lietuvos Respublikos diplomatinių atstovybių antspaudais antspauduotos balsavimo biuletenių kopijos yra laikomos teisėtais rinkimų dokumentais, todėl rinkėjai raginami nepasiduoti kai kurių asmenų keliamoms abejonėms dėl biuletenių autentiškumo.

  • 💬 “Russia is finding new ways to harm the EU. We must respond adequately to this and protect our territory and citizens. Some countries have already implemented measures to prevent or restrict the entry of Russian and Belarusian citizens into the Schengen area. This is a means of ensuring the integrity of the Schengen zone. The Schengen area without internal borders is one of Europe’s fundamental values. We must preserve it,” President of #Lithuania 🇱🇹 Gitanas Nausėda underlined during the European Council #EUCO 🇪🇺 in Brussels.

  • Great news! 👏 The European Commission has approved a €180 million State aid scheme to support electricity storage facilities - the State of #Lithuania 🇱🇹 will support up to 30% of investment costs. This paves the way for the growth of new electricity storage capacity, which will ensure the smooth integration of electricity generation from renewable sources into the system, contribute to the development of a competitive balancing market, and significantly increase both national and #Baltic ⚡️ energy security. 💬 "With solar and wind power having quadrupled in four years and continuing to grow rapidly, it is essential to secure appropriate balancing solutions for the electricity system that provide the technical capacity to both increase and decrease the generation and consumption of electricity. State support for investments in batteries will ensure the sustainable and rapid development of renewable energy, favourable electricity prices for consumers and energy independence," said Dainius Kreivys, Minister of Energy. 💡 Under the scheme, aid will be granted to legal entities in the form of direct grants to support the installation of at least 1200 MWh of new electricity storage capacity. The State will support all electricity storage technologies directly connected to the transmission grid or power plants connected to the transmission grid at the same point. The projects will be selected through a competitive procedure and the maximum aid intensity will be 30 % of the relevant investment costs. More details - link below in the comments.
