TBT staff and wire reports

RIGA - Latvian ex-president Vaira Vike-Freiberga agreed to become a candidate for a new post of a European Union president.

Today, the Prime-Minister Valdis Dombrovskis had a conversation with the former president, during which he promised to support Vike-Freiberga on a state level.

In Prime-Ministers opinion, Vike-Freiberga has all the necessary knowledge and experience, to hold such a senior position. He believes, that Vike-Freiberga could become a compromise figure, as no one, from the already named, candidates did not receive the support of all the EU countries.

Vike-Freiberga mentioned, that both private individuals, and the representatives of several non-state organizations in some of the EU countries have told her, that she would be perfect for the post.

Earlier the candidature of Vike-Freiberga was highly evaluated by the Lithuanian president Dalia Grybauskaite.
