The European Court of Human Rights (Second Section), sitting on 9 June 2026 as a Chamber composed of:
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government and the observations in reply submitted by the applicants,
1. The case concerns a complaint by applicant journalists that no effective domestic remedy for a refusal by the authorities to provide them with information had been available to them. They relied on Articles 6 § 1, 10 and 13 of the Convention.
2. The applicants were born in 1968 and 1972 respectively and live in Vilnius. They were represented by Mr A. Šindeikis, a lawyer practising in Vilnius.
3. The Government were represented by their Agent, Mr R. Dzikovič.
4. On 2 October 2018 the Ministry of Transport and Communications introduced a draft amendment to the Law on the Provision of Information to the Public (Visuomenės informavimo įstatymas). The amendment would bring into the Law a provision entitling journalists to receive information from public registers free of charge. It appears that there had been a practice of journalists being given such information free of charge but that in September 2018 the Centre of Registers discontinued it, on the grounds that it was not required by law.
