Polish-Lithuanian cooperation

The Lithuanian news portal Delfi looks at strategic cooperation between Lithuania and Poland: "One gets the impression that the Lithuanians care more about the economy or the infrastructure, for example the construction of a long-planned electricity bridge or the 'Via Baltica' motorway, while the Poles are more concerned about the situation of the Polish minority in and around Vilnius. ... It is striking that between 1997 and 2004, Poland either created or modernised no less than twelve electricity bridges which connect its power network with those in Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden and Ukraine. And these bridges were not even classed as strategic projects. They were not considered state priorities, and neither the president nor the German chancellor nor the Swedish king wasted a word on them."
