Lithuania to push military spending above Nato target
By EUobserver
Lithuania will keep increasing military spending after hitting Nato's recommended level of 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in the next two years, said the country's finance minister, Vilius Sapoka, in an interview with Reuters. The government also plans to raise tax revenues to 40 percent of GDP in the next five years, from the current 30 percent, to help improve education and healthcare.
