President of Slovenia Danilo Turk arrives on Wednesday with an official
visit to Lithuania to discuss energy security and issues of bilateral
cooperation, a spokesman for the Lithuanian president said.

President Turk is expected to discuss with his Lithuanian counterpart
Dalia Grybauskaite relations with neighboring states and the Eastern
Partnership Program.

The Eastern Partnership program, adopted by 27 EU countries in 2008,
includes Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova and Georgia
and aims to bring these countries in line with EU standards without
formal admission to the EU.

On March 11, the Slovenian president will attend festivities dedicated
to 20th anniversary of Lithuanian independence.
