VILNIUS ECCO Irving Fisherman Sandals Black Sale , June 8 (Xinhua) -- Lithuania's ruling parties and the government must urgently implement bold reforms to prevent people's growing frustration, President Dalia Grybauskaite said in her state of nation address on Thursday.
Speaking to the parliament (Seimas), the president noted that after last year's parliamentary elections, Lithuanian people's expectations for awaited changes and hopes for a more prosperous life increased ECCO Mens Biom Delta Offroad Sandals Tarmac Black Biscaya Sale , however, "the prolonged confusion in state governance and the vagueness of some reforms are already causing alarm."
"Strategic reforms can predetermine the quality of state governance for decades to come," Grybauskaite underlined.
The lagging education system reform was mentioned by Grybauskaite as one of the most disappointing examples of the current governance.
"Low quality education is becoming an issue of national security. It is the cause of emigration, social exclusion ECCO Mens Cheja Sandals Warm Grey Olive Oil Sale , declining investment, economic stagnation, and, most importantly ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Tarmac Sale , corruption," the head of state stressed.
Instead of "quality change", the governing politicians tend to stick to minor improvements, thus it "looks like an imitation of action" ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Black Mole Sale , Grybauskaite continued on the education issue.
"Lack of political will in critical decision-making", "entanglement in petty details", "mania for hasty unprepared reforms", "undelivered political promises" ECCO Mens Yucatan Sandals Tarmac Moon Rock Sale , all these are becoming a serious problem, the head of state said in a series of critical remarks.
Reforming the public sector, addressing corruption, social exclusion issues ECCO Cairo Modern Tie Moonless Sale , enhancing justice and bringing Lithuanian emigrants back home from other countries to reduce the scale of emigration, were among the priorities listed by the president.
"The jubilee year commits us to take an intense and realistic look at the most challenging tasks facing us. There is no one but us to speed up the national progress," said Grybauskaite, referring to 100th anniversary of Lithuanian independence which will be marked in 2018.
She noted that science and innovation should set the further economic path for Lithuania: "The decisions of today will shape the Lithuania of tomorrow: a country of innovators or a deserted land of elderly people."
Lithuanian Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis ECCO Cairo Plain Toe Tie Rust Sale , when speaking to reporters after the president's address, said that his government's will to implement reforms was "obvious."
"The problems in education, society and many other areas were being ignored for nearly two decades. We started to implement these reforms and this is a long-term process," Skvernelis was quoted as saying by local media.
He noted that the current government had only been working for half a year and proposed to withhold judgment until the full four-year government program was be implemented.
"Then we will be able to objectively judge what has been achieved ECCO Holton Apron Toe Slip On Rust Sale ," the prime minister said.
However, he said he believed that the president's criticism was not against the government.
"The president spoke about the ruling majority in general and voiced her expectations; I appreciate every remark," said Skvernelis.

SEOUL, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- South Korea is expected to speed up the process of deploying the U.S. missile shield in its soil after Lotte Group, the country's fifth-largest conglomerate, decided to give a green light to the land swap contract with the defense ministry.
A South Korean defense ministry official told Xinhua that he was informed of Lotte's decision to approve the deal to exchange its golf course in southeast South Korea for military land in Gyeonggi province near the capital Seoul.
Lotte International, a Lotte Group unit possessing the golf course where the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery is set to be sited, held a board of directors meeting earlier in the day to approve the deal.
Seoul and Washington agreed in July last year to deploy one THAAD battery by the end of this year. The site was changed in November into the golf course amid strong oppositions from residents.
The ministry official said the signing ceremony would happen as early as Tuesday, adding that more details would be announced separately after the signing.
The land swap deal was initially scheduled to be inked in January, but it was delayed amid strong oppositions at home and abroad. On Feb. 3, Lotte held a board meeting, in which it failed to endorse the contract.
The signing is forecast to accelerate the remaining procedures for the THAAD deployment in South Korean soil.
The procedures include South Korea's provision of the golf course to the U.S. military, the basic designing of the base, the evaluation of environmental effects and the construction.
To save time, an unidentified South Korean military official was quoted by Yonhap news agency as saying that the processes of the land provision and the basic designing will be conducted simultaneously.
The ministry already selected a company in December to evaluate the environmental effects, according to Yonhap. The evaluation through documents has been under way since then.
The golf course is equipped with most of necessary facilities, including electricity, tap water and entrance lanes, indicating earlier-than-expected completion of the base construction.
Local media speculations say that the THAAD deploy.
