Belarus Lithuania
Although relations between Belarus and Lithuania were
generally friendly in the early 1990s, various groups and
individuals, and even some elements of the Belarusian
government
and legislature, cited historical and sociological "facts"
about
language and ethnicity to claim some of Lithuania's
territory,
especially around the capital, Vilnius. The two countries
signed
a border agreement in December 1991 and over the next two
years
demarcated the previously unmarked border to prevent any
further
disputes.
During an early February 1995 summit, Lithuanian
president
Algirdas Brazauskas and Belarusian president Lukashyenka
signed a
friendship and cooperation treaty that included resolution
of all
outstanding border issues. No problems were reported in
connection with the minorities living in the other
country.
