Ambassador Antanas Valionis called Latvian President Valdis Zatlers "villainous" and questioned his motives for trying to disband the Latvian assembly
Lithuania's ambassador to neighbouring Latvia is resigning following comments he made attacking the Latvian president's move to dissolve Parliament.
In an interview with Latvian news site delfi.lv, Ambassador Antanas Valionis called President Valdis Zatlers "villainous" and questioned his motives for trying to disband the Latvian assembly.
Zatlers said over the weekend new elections were needed to weed out a culture of corruption among lawmakers.
Baltic news agency BNS reported Valionis announced his resignation Tuesday after a meeting with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite, saying: "I apologize to the Latvian president who was insulted by my words. Therefore, I think I should not continue working in Latvia."
