According to Lithuania’s Foreign Vice-Minister, the leaders’ discussion on the EU-NATO relationship is extremely important.

“The discussion on the EU-NATO cooperation to be held during the June European Council meeting is timely and important in the run-up to the next NATO Summit in Warsaw in July.
