"I think the Seimas will hold a relevant discussion and I expect the Seimas to continue the investigation," he said.
The prime minister pointed out that the Prosecutor General's Office is also conducting a probe.
"As far as I know, that investigation is uncompleted. If the Prosecutor General's Office receives any additional information, it will continue with the investigation. But it is hard for me to say whether it will request it " Butkevicius said.
In his turn, the PM showed a willingness to keep friendly relations with the US and he expects that an information exchange will take place.
He also said that he could not confirm that CIA indeed had an imprisonment facility in Lithuania.
"So far I cannot claim whether there was such a prison in Lithuania or not, this is for the Prosecutor General's Office to say," the prime minister said.
As media reported that the "purple hole" mentioned in the recent CIA torture report by the US Senate in fact is a former CIA prison in Lithuania, Seimas Speaker Loreta Grauziniene suggests requesting additional information on the matter and, if necessary, reopening the investigation.
"I do not have all the information. Now that the issue is back and Lithuania is mentioned again, we will have to probe into the situation again. A special commission was formed to perform a probe but all the highest officials denied the existence of prisons. We will have to look into this again," she said on the radio Ziniu Radijas on Wednesday morning.
The censored report published on Tuesday by a Senate Committee speaks about a secret "purple hole" which in fact is a CIA prison which operated in Lithuania, The Washington Post said.
The report also reveals that the United States at first lied to Lithuania about the purpose of the imprisonment facility and the prison was closed down when it was refused to bring one of the prisoners to a local hospital and the US had to pay millions to another country for medical treatment of the detainee.
The chapter on the "purple hole" notes that not even the then US ambassador in the country was informed about its establishment. The report also implies that the CIA misled the heads of the country which hosted the secret prison and they did not clearly understand the purpose of the building which they gave to their partners.
During a parliamentary investigation in late 2009, two locations were identified in Vilnius and near the Lithuanian capital where premises may have been equipped for unlawful detention.
The secret parliamentary probe also showed that CIA-related planes entered the Lithuanian airspace several times in 2003-2006. The investigations failed, however, to identify whether any suspected terrorists were brought to Lithuania.
Following the conclusions, prosecutors opened a separate probe, which was closed in January, 2011. The prosecutors said it had failed to receive any proof of existence of detention facilities for CIA detainees in and near Vilnius.
