20 years of Lithuania in the EU - Ramūnas Vilpišauskas
Manage episode 410769155 series 3441053
Bonjour, Ramūnas Vilpišauskas, you are Jean Monnet Professor at the Institute of International Relations and Political Science of Vilnius University, in the capital of Lithuania.
How old were you when your country became a member of the European Union, twenty years ago, on the 1st of May 2004?
In 2004, I was 32 years old, working as an associate professor at Vilnius University, teaching and researching EU-related subjects. Actually, I also remember quite well how I spent that day. I took part in a couple of official ceremonies organised on this occasion by our state institutions and then went to a party at a friend’s place to celebrate in private.
