In this crucial final stretch before the Prague Summit, now is the time for Lithuania to successfully implement the plans which we have discussed," the letter said. In the letter the NATO Secretary General expressed his satisfaction with growing public support in Lithuania for the country’s membership in the Northern Alliance.
