"VILNIUS (Reuters) - Lithuania has paid 40,000 euros ($63,140) for a citizen to undergo a full sex change operation abroad because the government missed a July 1 deadline, set by a European court, to adopt a domestic gender reassignment law.
The government drafted a law to allow gender reassignment surgery in Lithuania and presented it to parliament in 2003, but the bill has not yet been passed."
