The appointment to lead the State Security Department for a second term is a sign of major confidence, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda said on April 14, when swearing in Darius Jauniškis as director of the SSD. Nausėda highlighted Jauniškis' role in the spy swap in November when two Lithuanian and one Norwegian citizen were exchanged for Russian spies sentenced in Lithuania. The Seimas of Lithuania last week backed the appointment of Jauniškis as director of the country's State Security Department for a second term.
