Thanks, Timothy for the link.
At the
moment I am actually writing an article about Kaliningrad and Lithuania/EU. I
can add that at the Baltic-Nordic prime minister meeting in St. Petersburg
earlier this month it became clear that Russia will got grant Kaliningrad better
conditions than what the rest of the federation will get concerning visas. That
means that during 2003 Russia will need to build up a visa control bureaucracy
and that the visa free regime between Lithuania and Kaliningrad will cease.
Sealed trains or West Berlin solutions I am almost sure they can forget - the
only way to get to main Russia will be by sea. Lithuania will most probably
become EU member at 2004 - she has already finished 28 of totally 30
chapters and is together with Cyprus concerning present state of play heading
the socalled group of Enlargement countries.
borders, borders,
borders!
