Lithuania has given an additional, non-earmarked contribution of €15,000 to the Ukraine Action Plan, bringing their total support to €45,000.

The remaining €20,000 were allocated to the Action Plan for Georgia 2016-2019.

The agreements were signed on 29 June 2017 by Ambassador Laima Jurevičienė, Permanent Representative of Lithuania to the Council of Europe, and Mrs. Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni, Deputy Secretary General.
