Dalia Grybauskaitė, the European Union's Budget Commissioner, has claimed victory in Lithuanian's presidential election. Speaking to reporters, Ms. Grybauskaitė said she expected to win 70% of the vote and that turnout would be 52%, meaning a second ballot would not be required. Ms.Grybauskaitė, who ran as an independent candidate, was seen as a clear favorite going into the poll. Adam Easton reports.
达利娅·格里包斯凯特将于7月初正式宣誓就职。对于自己的施政未来，达利娅·格里包斯凯特允诺将会带领自己的国家走出危机阴影。据美联社报道，欧盟各成员国中，立陶宛是遭受国际金融危机冲击最严重的国家之一，失业率高达15.5%。
Lithuania is undergoing a painful economic recession. Ms. Grybauskaitė was widely seen by voters as a competent EU budget chief. Very frank by her own admission, she castigated the politicians back home in Vilnius for squandering years of economic boom, and failing to prepare for the global crisis. In Lithuania, the president's main power, however, lies in foreign policy and here she has promised to be less confrontational, especially towards Russia.
