I have been living in Lithuania since 1991. Therefore you will find more documentation about this country's borders than any other!   But I am far from finished... Do also look up under «BY-LT» (Byelorussia-Lithuania) where you may find among other positions the Byelorussian-Lithuanian-Latvian Tripoint and the Adutiskis border city. You will also find more about Lithuania under «Places of Interest».
