 Free movement of people is a fundamental human right and a pillar of the democratization process. However, uncontrolled free movement of individuals poses a range of security concerns, particularly for transit countries. The use of a special facilitated transit order for movements of Russian citizens to Kaliningrad via Lithuania is an experimental attempt to combine security with democratic development.
This project implemented and funded by the Finnish and Lithuanian Ministries of Foreign Affairs, brought together officials from Lithuania and Kaliningrad as well as legal experts and practitioners to analyze experiences from the first two years of implementation of the Facilitated Transit Scheme through an interactive “on-the-job” seminar. The seminar was followed by recommendations for improving performance and efficiency at each stage of the implementation process. A specialized manual with guidelines for officials involved at all levels in the implementation of the Facilitated Transit Scheme was established.
