Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas announced his resignation today, following pressure from the ruling coalition and an investigation into possible financial crimes. The 'For Lithuania' party had threatened to quit the government if he did not resign by August 18 over his business links with a company owned by his sister-in-law. Criticism from the opposition has intensified and Paluckas has not commented publicly on the matter.
