The pair agreed to organise a conference designed as a meeting point for businessmen and to establish "how we can deepen economic cooperation," Bratušek said in a statement for the press.

Bratušek also extended her condolences over the death of a Lithuanian member of the EULEX mission in Kosovo, labelling it as "yet another proof that joint efforts are needed in the region".

Butkevičius meanwhile presented Lithuania's ongoing EU presidency and invited Bratušek to the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius in November.

He hopes the event will feature Ukraine signing an association agreement with the EU.

Bratušek and Butkevičius also visited the tech company Datalab and plan to see the Lithuania-Croatia semi final at the European Basketball Championship in the afternoon.

Earlier in the day Butkevičius held talks with Parliament Speaker Janko Veber.
