Summary/Abstract: In the spring of 2004, Lithuania, along with the other six Vilnius Group countries, have become full-fledged members of NATO and the European Union. These two equally important foreign policy achievements mark the recognised progress that the country has made in terms of its economic and democratic development. Without a doubt membership in both organisations also comes as a result of the decade-long process of developing and realising Lithuania’s bilateral relations with member countries of the Euro-Atlantic community. Not minimising in any way the importance of such cooperative relations with many European NATO and EU members, this article will focus on the role of the United States, more specifically of the U.S. Congress, in the process of Lithuania’s Euro-Atlantic integration.
