Venue:

Vilnius Cathedral Square

650 kilometers of freedom – that’s the length of the chain of people holding hands, recorded in history. There stood we, our parents and grandparents.

When the pursuit of freedom erupted beyond our borders 35 years ago, we showed the whole world how strong a common purpose unites the three Baltic states. “The Baltic Way, not the Berlin Wall, has become a symbol for the future of Europe” emphasised US President Joe Biden.
And what does freedom mean to us today?
The Baltic Way is the way of freedom. Freedom to think, to create, to travel, to be yourself… It is also a responsibility for this freedom. 650 KM OF FREEDOM is a symbolic reference to the path we have already walked and continue to walk in support of all those who fight for their freedom.
