  NATO :: Speeches :: Statement by Kristiina Ojuland at the Meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Vilnius 10 group
I believe that today’s discussions will open up new tangible prospects for partner states’ contributions to strengthen our joint fight against terrorism and give to all V group countries the clear vision of further preparations during the months to come.
Although, this group as the NATO candidate countries is very much aware of the traditional security challenges.
Estonia, like all other Vilnius group countries, is prepared to contribute to the organisation’s efficiency in combating international terrorism.

 Vilnius Yiddish Institute > Summer Program > Summer Program
In 2001, the course became an integral component of the new Vilnius Yiddish Institute at Vilnius University.
Further, the group regularly includes members of diverse religious faiths and all age brackets—from college undergraduates (and the occasional high-schooler) to senior citizens.
And today’s modern Lithuanian capital of Vilnius still preserves its magical Baroque vistas and nooks and corners of the old Eastern Europe that lives on in Yiddish literature and the memories of older generations.

 Vilnius letter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vilnius letter was a declaration of support for the United States' aim of régime change in Iraq by means of an invasion.
It was followed on 6 February by a letter from the Vilnius group comprising Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia, which effectively supported a US military intervention in Iraq.
By expressing support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq — by that point seemingly inevitable — the Vilnius letter was a public rebuke by ten EU candidates of France and Germany's vocal opposition to American and British policy.

 RADIO FREE EUROPE/ RADIO LIBERTY
The Vilnius 10 statement -- signed by Albania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia -- followed a similar letter of support on 30 January by leaders from nine European countries, including the three ex-communist NATO members Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
Indeed, the Vilnius group was established in 2000 with the declared objective of supporting each of the 10 countries' efforts to gain NATO membership.
But resurfacing as a group after most of its members had already achieved their initial goal has prompted some to ask the question of whether the Vilnius 10 can speak with a single voice in future.

 UNESCO - Dialogue among Civilizations
It is true that no human society can be reduced to its natural environment, but every human group distinguishes itself in its own way, so that cultures enable a human group to distinguish itself not only from the natural world but also from other human groups.
The salient point is that, despite these shifts of axis, each of these social entities is accompanied by a corresponding culture that acts as the cement of the society or social group, levelling out the differences existing inside it and highlighting the points that differentiate it from others.
If this core is threatened by external events, the group ceases to exist as a self-sustaining unit; it is either absorbed by other groups or simply vanishes.
