"I believe that we have not agreed on this question. I don't want to talk about this. I thought we agreed on specific questions, don't try to delay me… if you're ending with these questions, then we are done" Grybauskaite said.

After the interviewer attempted to ask Grybauskaite a third question regarding the collapse of the Maxima shop in Riga, the president asked for the interview to be ended.
In 2013, a shopping center in Riga, containing the Lithuanian Maxima supermarket, collapsed. At least 54 people died in the tragedy.
