I don't follow you. Which treaty are you referring to? Are you talking about the EU directive regarding the visa policy? If so, how is this relevant to the negotiations/decision-making concerning the EU-US agreements? EU directive

Poland is in the Schengen Area. Cyprus is divided since Turkish invasion, so it is somewhat a special case. Other countries joined the EU relatively recently. However, all four countries are legally obliged to join the Schengen Area, th

In fact, we have more words for death. For example, "stipti" or "gaišti" ("šuo nugaišo" - "the dog has died"). However, it is true that people say "bitė mirė" -- the human death, rather than
