Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses women’s images and women related themes as they were presented in the Lithuanian national mass-media in the EP elections (May–June, 2004). Monitoring of the two largest Lithuanian dailies demonstrated that the EP elections had a second-rate status, which was enhanced by the first-round of the nation-wide Presidential elections, taking place on the very same day (May 14, 2004). Newspapers provided superficial references to women and did not produce any articulated discourse about women’s representation in the EP. The result – the Lithuanian delegation to the EP has 5 women among its 13 members – is to be attributed to national political culture, appearance of the new populist party and individual candidates’ electoral strategies, but not to women-friendly public discourse and political communication.
