„I'm very glad that Lithuania has expressed its determination. I can say that there are only pros. This is the right decision,“ he said during a joint news conference.

„The negative aspect of joining the euro is almost entirely emotional,“ Ligi said.

The Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian finance ministers discussed euro entry and Lithuania's upcoming EU presidency in Vilnius on Thursday.
