įstatymą
The Lithuanian word "įstatymą" means "law" (in the accusative case).
Here, 'įstatymą' is used in its singular accusative form as the direct object of the verb 'priėmė' (passed), indicating what was passed by the parliament.
Seimas priėmė naują įstatymą.
The parliament passed a new law.
In this sentence, 'įstatymą' is again in its singular accusative form, functioning as the object of the implicit action of following, governed by the verb 'laikytis' in its infinitive form.
Įstatymą reikia laikytis.
The law must be followed.
Here, 'įstatymą' appears in its singular accusative form as the object of the prepositional phrase 'apie įstatymą', introduced by the preposition 'apie' (about).
