No, what you are quoting is only about constructing the tripoint. The one I
now have in mind is an agreement on who is allowed to enter the square.

At FIe Mr. Lekavicius told me the Finnish authorities copied an idea at PTw
where the Portugese authorities had put up an obelisque to mark the western
point of Europe (?). According to him the Lithuanians wanted a Lithuanian
"totem" (traditional pole with christian symbolism) as their contribution.
Of course they have tourism in mind, and I do not see anything wrong with
that if it can attract more people to this area.
In this area the Lithuanian authorities are builing up a new "Iron Fence":

«A 65-kilometer-long strip of border, which amounts to a tenth of
total length of Lithuanian-Belarussian border, will be security
fenced. The fence will be light-construction openspaced, four-meters
high.» (Baltic News Service, July 19th 2003.)

The fence will be put up only at populated and special exposed areas as a
frequent visited tripoint would be. This will reduce the problems of border
trespassing. Anyhow the authorities must invest much money in infrastrukture
to attract tourists. But if the EU want to close down the nearby Ignalina
Atomic Power Plant they certainly need all kind of activities they can get!

I think I share most BP-ers understanding about Everybody's land, neutral
territory and condominiums. But I understand and respect that you seem bot
to have created your own English language as well as definition about most
topics.

When I am writing «neutral» between quotation marks I mean "nearly or
somewhat neutral", certainly not exactly neutral. If three or more parties
in a war declares to meet at a summit this area will be a neutral no matter
how many parties are involved. (During Lithuania's Independence War 3
parties were involved (Lithuanians, Poles and the Germans)

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re: «Neutral» BYLTLV treaty

given the similarity of the dates
i suppose it is a possibility that the guard & you are really only
talking about the same tripoint treaty as cited in message 9507

but i am still assuming that the dates mentioned are correct in
both cases & that you are therefore talking about some new
3way agreement that was added just a year & a day afterwards

in the meantime can you confirm your understanding
