Lithuania works to improve Russian relations

Nov 02, 2009
Oskars Magone

MOSCOW - Lithuanian Foreign Minister Vygaudas Usackas has met with his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, where the two agreed to hasten the signing of a number of bilateral agreements.

The meeting is a positive sign that relations between the countries may be warming up. All three Baltic states have had relatively frosty relations with the Kremlin since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Usackas and Lavrov also discussed issues of multilateral cooperation regarding Lithuania’s preparation for the upcoming Chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Lithuania’s ongoing presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS), and the EU-Russia and NATO-Russia cooperation, alfa.lt reported.
