Does anybody know if the Pagiriai enclave (a small piece of Lithuania inside Belarus) still exists?
I can find it in my (rather old) Soviet atlas, but not on a map of Lithuania I bought there last
year, although this map is of a much larger scale (i.e. shows more detail) than the one in the
atlas. A quick search on the internet provided an old news item (Nov 10, 1994), that there were
border talks and the enclave could be exchanged for some other territory. Does anybody know the
outcome of these border negotiations?
