On Monday, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda will take part in a virtual Bucharest Nine summit.
The meeting has been organised to prepare for a NATO summit that should take place in Brussels in June, presidential adviser Ridas Jasiulionis told BNS.
“The country’s leader and the leaders of other countries of the so-called NATO’s eastern flank will discuss and assess the existing security situation as well as challenges for defence and deterrence, which become increasingly relevant in the context of Russia’s aggressive actions,” he said.
The Bucharest Nine (B9) brings together nine countries in Eastern and Central Europe – Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Hungary. The format was launched in 2015 in response to the Russian aggression in Ukraine in 2014.
