Summary/Abstract: The year 2004 will become one of the key historical dates for Lithuania and most other European countries. The enlargement of the EU (and the continuous expansion of NATO) symbolises the most important step in the unification of Europe which for half a century was divided by force. For Lithuania and other countries of the region which regained their independence at the beginning of 1990s accession into the EU (and NATO) have been the two most important policy priorities. These priorities not only directed their foreign policy towards strengthening relations with the democratic countries of transatlantic community but also played an important role in structuring and sustaining domestic transition reform efforts.
