Abstract

This chapter is an overview of relations between Lithuania and Poland in the context of the good neighbourhood treaty signed in 1994. Lithuania and Poland share a long history, and this means that historical aspects of Lithuanian-Polish relations affect contemporary policy and decisions. The signing of the Lithuanian-Polish treaty is a good illustration of this. Observations of the media can give the impression that the main problem in Lithuanian-Polish relations is that of national minorities, but an analysis of the content of the Lithuanian-Polish treaty and an assessment of Lithuanian-Polish relations in this regard lead to the conclusion that those relations have been developing dynamically and intensively, despite political ups and downs. This chapter shows that cooperation is taking place across a wide range of areas. The issues of national minorities and cooperation in the field of justice are not touched upon.
