The Secretary General will receive the Order of the Cross of Terra Mariana from the President, for services to European security.

The Vilnius authorities in a statement defended themselves in the face of Moscow protests over the Lithuanian blockade of rail transit of a wide range of goods - sanctioned by Brussels - towards the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad.
