Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevičius announced that he would resign from the post of Prime Minister if Lithuania fails to adopt the euro next year

After a meeting of the ruling coalition, Mr. Butkevičius told journalists that to hold all speculation to a minimum, he would certainly take personal responsibility and coalition partners agreed that on January 1, 2015 Lithuania would adopt the euro.

He went on to say that this coalition will make it happen and if others think in a different way, there is nothing wrong with that. To the question of whether he would resign if this goal were not met, the Prime Minister answered that he certainly would.
