Lithuania in the European Union: Public Opinion Polls Results in 1997-2004

Summary/Abstract: The dynamics of the attitudes towards Lithuania’s membership in the EU could be divided into three periods: decreasing number of membership supporters till the beginning of 2000 (distrust in state institutions, lack of information, economical fears), increasing support till referendum (informational campaign, beliefs in positive impact on economy) and stable support of membership after referendum and accession. The main positive changes according to public opinion are possibilities to work abroad and reduced unemployment. The main negative change is rise of prices. Rise of prices was the main reason of sceptical attitudes towards euro introduction. On the other hand, according to Eurobarometer Lithuania, is one of the most eurooptimistic countries. Public opinion polls in EU show that attitudes towards Lithuania are positive.
