Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyse the legal framework of liability of the president in Lithuania. The particular interest for this model is due to the fact that Lithuania is the only European Union member country where the procedure of impeachment of the President was finished by his dismissal. More specifically, in 2004, Rolandas Paksas became the first and only European president until today, who was dismissed as a result of triggering the constitutional impeachment proceedings. In the present context, when the liability of the Heads of State is increasingly questioned, the Lithuanian case is worth being evoked and known, because it represents a benchmark for all those who are preoccupied, theoretically or practically, by this matter.
