On 26 May 2026, Lithuania’s National Member at Eurojust, Margarita Šniutytė-Daugėlienė, was re-elected as Vice-President of the Agency. She will begin her second four-year mandate on 28 June, continuing to serve alongside Eurojust President Michael Schmid and Vice-President José de la Mata.

Ms Šniutytė-Daugėlienė has been National Member for Lithuania since 2019. Before joining Eurojust, she worked at the Regional Prosecutor’s Office of Klaipėda, later becoming Chief Public Prosecutor of its 2nd Criminal Prosecution Division. She was appointed Deputy Prosecutor General of Lithuania in 2016, a position she held before joining the Agency.

During her first mandate as Vice-President, which began in June 2022, Ms Šniutytė-Daugėlienė played a key role in coordinating the Agency’s support to accountability efforts for Russian crimes in Ukraine. As National Member for Lithuania, she supported the establishment of the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) on alleged core international crimes (CICs) in Ukraine and contributed to the creation of the International Centre for the Prosecution of the Crime of Aggression against Ukraine (ICPA) (→eucrim 1/2025) .
