Lithuania expects Austria to be present at the Vilnius Summit - one of the most significant events during Lithuania's Presidency of the Council of the European Union - this coming autumn.
"We highly value Austria's support to the Lithuanian EU Presidency as well as to Lithuania's aspirations for membership in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council," the President said.
Ambassador Johann Spitzer, 53, was born in Austria. He graduated the Diplomatic Academy in Vienna and studied at the Faculty of Law of the University of Salzburg. He speaks English, French, German, and Hungarian.
