As the only member who currently actively uses the EU thread, I am posting it on your thread here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=10477993#post10477993).

Please pay attention to the elections for the 2009 EU presidency.

Thank you very much, and we hope that you enjoy your time in the EU :)!

Lousewies van de Laan, prime-minister of the Netherlands:
Dear Lithuanian friends. We appreciate your country and its role in the world of today. We hope that we will continue our bountiful cooperation in the European Union for a long time and we want you to know that we will of course come to your aid, in the case of aggression from the East.

Currently Lithuania has sent 400 troops to Sudan. They are peacekeeping troops. With them they brought two T-90 and five BTR-90.

Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas has decided to get rid of the old vehicles and get new vehicles. He has ordered 15 medical transporters, 30 armoured personal carriers, and 10 recon vehicles.

Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas is putting a crack down on drugs in Lithuania. This month he has issued the army and police to arrest any drug dealers. Also PM Brazauskas want to make Lithuania no longer a transshipment point for drugs.

During this crack downs government officials will be searced for corruption or stealing money from the government. So far the government has caught twenty officials.

PM Algirdas Brazauskas had signed a bill passed by the Parliament. The bill states that telephone lines in the country will be modernized to provide an improved international capability and better residential access. This will project will be done by the end of this year.

Off the coast of Lithuania they have found oil. A company plans on building a oil platform in the ocean to drill the oil.

OOC: The oil thing is a grayish are, but as long as you don't overdo it, I'm ok with it. A few billion barrels should be ok...or million. I don't know oil that well.

OOC: No overkill maybe about three billion barrels in the next two years.

Australia supports Luthuania's recent actions to crack down on drug dealers!

PM Brazauskas thanks the Australia government for the support. Also a new small government team is being established. The Special Drug Force will track down drug dealers, drug makers, and drug trafficers. The SDF will have 500 agents in the group. Starting this year the SDF will be established with 50 memembers. They will be the orignal group and will train new recruits.

If Australia could do the same to Tasmania we'd have stopped the illicit drug trade to our nation a long long time ago.

Once the SDF has been trained we are willing to send some personnel over to train a unit in Australia.

Once the SDF has been trained we are willing to send some personnel over to train a unit in Australia.

We're very well trained, its just that Tasmania is like the Cuba to the USA for drugs. They smuggle it in. We naturally try to stop them, but its inevitable they get through. So we have experience, but we can't really stop 100% of the source.

Russia offers to help train the anti-drug teams. We also wish to meet to discuss the possible transfer of the former Lithuanian territory.

We accept both of Russia's offer and also want to talk about a join effort in the African nations. Also about a improved railroad in Djibouti and Ethiopia.

OOC: No overkill maybe about three billion barrels in the next two years.

OOC: 3 billion is a lot of oil, a huge amount of oil.

OOC: Ok about 1 billion in the next two years.

The Lithuanians would like to talk to Russia about the growing conflict in Djibouti and also helping in Djibouti. We would like to help you in Djibouti with joint projects. So President Adamkus is going to meet with President Putin about this affairs and many more.

The oil company in Lithuania has hired Canadian engineers to build a oil platform close the Hibernia. The oil plaform is being made off shore and will be moved to the spot. It is execpted to be done by the end of this year.

Also a new nuclear power planet is being build in Lithuania. This will be the testing ground for one in Djibouti.

Dear Lithuania,
Good day, neighbors. Lavia would like to say hello to you all. And a proposel... would you mind a possible treaty of peace asnd trade rights... maybe a possible unification? I'm not sure.

Latvia

Dear Lativa,

We would love to have a peace treaty and a trade rights with your country. With the peace treaty we would vow to never attack each other. The Maritime Boundary Treaty we sent you has never been ratified by your Parliament. We would like for that to be passed. Also unification might happen also with Estonia to form a Baltic Republic.

From,
Prime Minister Algirdas Brazauskas

To:Mr. Brazauskas, Lithuania
From:Parlament of Latvia

Mr. Brazauskas,
We will be sure to get a signature on your treaty right away. And yes, we were also thinking the same thing with the Baltic Republic. Details will come shortly.
