President of Slovenia Danilo Turk arrives on Wednesday with an official visit to Lithuania to discuss energy security and issues of bilateral cooperation, a spokesman for the Lithuanian president said.

President Turk is expected to discuss with his Lithuanian counterpart Dalia Grybauskaite relations with neighboring states and the Eastern Partnership Program.

The Eastern Partnership program, adopted by 27 EU countries in 2008, includes Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine, Armenia, Moldova and Georgia and aims to bring these countries in line with EU standards without formal admission to the EU.
