Lithuania’s former President Valdas Adamkus was hospitalised at the end of last week, his assistant Božena Bagonaitienė confirmed to BNS on Tuesday.
“I can confirm that this is true,” she said.
According to Bagonaitienė, the 98-year-old former president was admitted to Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos last Friday.
She declined to comment on Adamkus’ current health condition and said she had no information on when he might be discharged.
The hospital said on Monday that Adamkus was hospitalised due to a worsening of his cardiac condition. Doctors decided to admit him for further examination and observation.
The tv3.lt news website was the first to report the news.
Adamkus served as Lithuanian president in 1998–2003 and 2004–2009.
