Lithuania won’t block the start of Brussels- Moscow negotiations on Strategic Partnership Treaty.
      
      This decision was taken Sunday evening at a Vilnius meeting of foreign ministers of Lithuania, Sweden, Poland and Slovenia, the EU's presiding country.
      
      ‘We have managed to reach the decision which suits everybody. The issue of resumption of crude supplies via Druzhba pipeline to Lithuania, what has been raised by the country, will be discussed at the forthcoming Russia-EU negotiations’, said Slovenian Foreign Minister.
      
      The previous Partnership Treaty ran out in December 2007. To start the EU-Russian dialogue on the new treaty, the European Commission has to get mandate of all EU members.
      
      Lithuania is supposed to give its official approval at the meeting of EU Ministers of Foreign Affairs on May 26.
