BASIC INFORMATION
Lithuania is the largest of the three Baltic States and Latvia, Poland and the Kaliningrad Region of Russia and Belarus border it. The capital of the country is Vilnius and the official language is Lithuanian, that’s why most students prefer to study in Lithuania without ielts. Lithuania has a population of slightly over 3 million people and it is a member of several international organizations including the European Union, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). From cities and towns full of historic monuments to wonderful retreats in a pristine natural environment, Lithuania has places to go and see for everyone. Officially recognized as the geographical centre of Europe and connected by numerous routes to major European cities, Lithuania can be easily reached by land, water or air. The strength of the Lithuanian economy – and that of its Baltic neighbours – gave rise to the unofficial title ‘The Baltic Tiger’. The country has strong industrial, financial and service sectors and is developing its research and innovation and high-tech capacity.
