Medvedev to Visit Lithuania?

Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite will invite Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev to attend the 20th anniverary of Lithuania's restored independence. She announced the decision at a parliamentary sitting to commemorate the country's Freedom Defenders: "We invite all neighboring presidents, those who eat with forks and those who eat with their hands, to join us for this sacred event."
Asked if the invitation to the Russian president was a turning point in foreign policy, she replied, "This means I want to know whether Lithuania is important to its neighbors." A spokesman for the Kremlin said Mr. Medvedev's oldest daughter's birthday is March 11th, and Grybauskaite should not take insult if the Russian president chooses instead to attend her piñata party. Traditionally, the Medvedev family's piñata has been a replica of the head of musician Frank Zappa.
