The news service of the Lithuanian television channel TV3 had earlier reported, quoting unnamed sources, that Adamkus last month decided against going to Moscow. But at that time Marius Lukosiunas, head of the presidential press-service, said that "no official announcement has yet been made".
It is expected that also on Monday the head of another Baltic republic - Estonian President Arnold Ruutel - will officially announce his decision concerning an invitation to come to Moscow to celebrate Victory Day.
Ruutel is most likely to refuse to go to Moscow on May 9 to mark the 60th anniversary of the victory over Nazism. He said this on Sunday at a meeting with Prime Minister Yuhan Parts. Foreign Minister Rein Lang and deputy head of the European Parliament's commission for foreign affairs Henrik Toomas Ilves.
Perhaps Foreign Minister Lang may go to Moscow, if the Russians send him an official invitation.
Latvia's President Vaira Vike-Freiberga has altered her decision repeatedly. In her last statement, she said that she will come to Moscow on May 9.
