A passport is also required for travel by long-range trains and airlines. There are a couple of operations that require an internal passport, (e.g. all notarial operations, land to high value assets).

Overview	<p>Lithuania is the largest and most southerly of the three Baltic republics.</p> <p>Not much more than a decade after it regained its independence during the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1990, Lithuania was welcomed as a Nato member in late March 2004.</p> <p>The move came just weeks before a second historic shift for the country in establishing its place in the Western family of nations as it joined the EU in May 2004. These developments would have been extremely hard to imagine in not-so-distant Soviet times.</p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17536867">Full Article</a>	<p>Russia emerged from a decade of post-Soviet economic and political turmoil to reassert itself as a world power. </p> <p>Income from vast natural resources, above all oil and gas, have helped Russia overcome the economic collapse of 1998. The state-run gas monopoly Gazprom is the world&#039;s largest producer and exporter, and supplies a growing share of Europe&#039;s needs. </p> <p>Economic strength has allowed Vladimir Putin - Russia&#039;s dominant political figure since 2000 - to enhance state control over political institutions and the media, buoyed by extensive public support for his policies. </p><br> <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17839672">Full Article</a>
