President of Lithuania Dalia Grybauskaite returned amendments to Law on Advocacy to the Seimas for reconsideration. The amendments establish a possibility to hold top positions in advocacy indefinitely. According to the president, the amendments pave the way to chairing the advocacy indefinitely and contradict the freedom of associations protected by the Constitution. As an in many other areas at present rotation system exists in advocacy; it is not possible to chair for more than two terms in a row. According to Grybauskaite, the attempt to abolish rotation is against democracy and hampers possibility to fasten reforms in this area.
