VILNIUS - Lithuania's Minister of Transport and Communication Eligijus Masiulis has survived a vote of no-confidence, winning widespread support despite earlier speculation among many analysts that the move could prove to be a success.
Masiulis won the support of 73 MPs, while 49 voted in favor of ousting him from office and 14 abstained.
