Jan,
The following is from the
LIETUVOS RESPUBLIKOS UZSIENIO REIKALU MINISTERIJA
VALSTYBES SIENOS DELIMITAVIMO IR DEMARKAVIMO KOMISIJA
or in English
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA
STATE BORDER DELIMITATION AND DEMARCATION COMMISSION
Now THEY say the treaty was signed 6 Feb 1995 and entered into force 26 Apr
1996.
The treaty I posted in the previous email said "Ratifikuota nuo 23 Apr 1996
Isigalioja 26 Apr 1996. I presume this is the same one?

"State border between the Republic of Lithuania and the Republic of Belarus
was established by the Agreement on State Border between Lithuania and
Belarus signed on 6 February 1995 (entered into force on 26 April 1996).
According to it, Lithuania has no enclaves in Belarus. In the negotiations
for the border delimitation the two countries agreed to eliminate Lithuanian
Pagiriai enclave (covering an area of 169 ha) and to compensate Lithuania
with land, adjacent to its mainland. The following 4 lots of land were
transferred to Lithuania:
31 ha to the south of Tavreli village;
63 ha to the north-west of Podeguti village;
52 ha to the north of Brazhelci village;
23 ha to the north of the river Dumble.
During the negotiations other possibilities concerning the Pagiriai enclave
were also considered, in particular joining the enclave to Lithuania by a
narrow (200 m in width) 'corridor'. This proposal was not acceptable to the
Belorussian side.
There was a farmstead inside the enclave with three people (citizens of
Lithuania) living in it. A farming company of Salcininkai disctrict raised
lupin in the enclave."
