FREEDOM PRIZE

The Freedom Prize is an award given by the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania under the Law on the Freedom Prize of 15 September 2011. It was established to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Soviet aggression against the independent state of Lithuania; to honour the memory of the victims who died for Lithuania’s freedom in 1991; to stress the need to further promote the development of democracy, human rights, the rule of law and equal cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. The Prize is awarded annually at a solemn ceremony at the Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania on 13 January, the Day of the Defenders of Freedom.

LITHUANIA’S RETURN TO THE WORLD COMMUNITY OF FREE COUNTRIES

Catalogue of the exhibition

The exhibition Lithuania’s Return to the World Community of Free Countries features the documents that have consolidated the foundations of Lithuania’s statehood: the letters of credence presented by the ambassadors of European Union Member States, candidate countries and Eastern Partnership countries, which were signed by the heads of state, prominent politicians of the time, and both record our historical developments and attest to the diplomatic and cultural traditions of the countries.
