Prime Minister of Lithuania
The Prime Minister of Lithuania is the head of the executive arm of Lithuania's government, and is chosen by the Lithuanian parliament. The modern office of Prime Minister was established in 1990, although the official title was "Chairperson of the Council of Ministers" until 25 November, 1992. The post was established during the turmoil surrounding the Soviet Union's collapse, and was organized by Sajudis ("Unity"), a multi-party coalition in favour of Lithuanian independence.
Historically, the title of Prime Minister was also used between 1918 and 1940. This was during the original Republic of Lithuania, which lasted from the fall of Lithuania's monarchy until the country's annexation by the Soviet Union.
