On 19 and 20 February, the Department for the Execution of Judgments carried out a mission to Vilnius, organised in cooperation with the Agent of the Government of Lithuania before the European Court.
The Department’s delegation met the Minister of Justice to exchange on the progress made in the execution of the Court’s judgments against Lithuania, current obstacles, and further perspectives. In particular, the cases on the lack of implementing legislation on full gender reassignment (L. v. Lithuania), on freedom of expression (Macate v. Lithuania), and poor conditions of detention were discussed (Mironovas and Others v. Lithuania).
Lithuania’s generally positive record in terms of communication with the Department and closure of cases was also highlighted during this meeting.
