Lithuania, Belarus Establish State Borders

Foreign ministries of Lithuania and Belarus have exchanged notes confirming the demarcation of borders between the two countries, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said in a press release.

The demarcation process was launched in 1996. In 2007 the two countries signed a final protocol and other documents, which were later approved by the two countries' governments.

The Belarusian-Lithuanian border is 679 km (421 miles) long, of which 380 km (236 miles) runs across land and 299 km (186 miles) across water.
