This is my presentation I made in Krakow in Akademia Polsko-Litewska. You can find slides here.
Lithuanians and Poles have common but still very medley history. We were friends and we were enemies, we defended each other from outside invaders and also killed each other without mercy, we crated a common state and made it fail as well. What is even more shocking, less than a hundred years ago we supported terrorists in each others territories and now we are allies in the war against terror.
Al these thing I've mentioned are so called "high-politics", games elites play. They can hardly say anything about how Lithuanians and Poles feel about each other or how good we know each other. If we need to understand how close two peoples are, we have to look not at politics, but economics. Engagement in common economical activities is, I guess, the best way for common people to know each other. This presentation is my modest and provocative trying to diagnose current state of business relations between Lithuania and Poland.
