A tour to Lithuania

The President of European Commission Romano Prodi, on a tour to Lithuania ahead of its detailed talks with the European Union, confirmed his firm commitment to EU enlargement and part of Vilnius in this process, as he met President Valdas Adamkus on Friday morning. "We have covered all issues relating to Lithuania, the European Union and NATO. I think it was a warm and positive meeting drawing a very clear line both for EU and Lithuania with regard to the future," Adamkus said after the conversation. The Lithuanian leader was meeting Prodi, formerly prime minister of Italy, two years ago. Adamkus said they both recalled cordially the previous encounter.
