Prunskienė Cabinet

Prunskienė Cabinet was the 1st cabinet of Lithuania since the declaration of independence in 1990. It consisted of the Prime Minister and 17 government ministers.

Kazimiera Prunskienė was appointed as the first Prime Minister by the Supreme Council of Lithuania on 17 January 1990, six days after declararing the independence.
