On 6 July at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Moscow, heads of Lithuanian, Polish and Russian delegations signed final documents of the demarcation of state borders and completed marking the junction point at Vištytis.

After lengthy negotiations, the commission drew up final documents of the demarcation of the state borders – the protocol-description of the junction point of state borders, the map of the demarcation of the state borders, the protocol of the border sign at Vištytis and the final protocol – which were signed at the Russian Foreign Ministry.

On 27 October 2005, the joint Lithuanian, Polish and Russian commission signed an agreement on the delimitation of a Tri-junction point of the state borders. In compliance with this agreement, a pink granite monolith of cylindrical form, 1.90 meters high and measures 0.5 m in diameter, was erected at the Tri-junction point of the state borders in June 2010.

This is the first border sign that was erected to mark the junction point of the Lithuanian-Russian state border.

This is also the second marked Tri-junction point, the first marked one was on the Lithuanian-Belarusian-Latvian state border at Liudvinavas.

This year, officials also plan to mark the junction point of the Lithuanian-Polish-Belarusian state border at Mara.
