"If President Dalia Grybauskaitė decides to once again run for president, I will call on the party to back her candidacy. And we'll see what the party's decision will be," Kubilius told a pres conference on Thursday.

The conservative TS-LKD backed Grybauskaitė during her 2009 presidential bid by not nominating a party candidate.
