Misiulis will assume his new position on May 10.
Also, Andrius Namavicius has been appointed Lithuania's ambassador to the Council of Europe and will assume the position on May 26.
The positions of Lithuania's ambassador to the United States and Germany have been vacant since late summer and October, 2020 respectively. The search for new ambassadors has taken longer due to differences of opinion of the presidential office and the Foreign Ministry.
