Marius Jovaiša became quite well known after releasing his photo album “Unseen Lithuania” a couple of years ago. This book is said to be one of the best gifts for anyone who is already in love with Lithuania, or for those who have never seen the beauty of the country.
Recently Marius Jovaiša has come up with a new project – a trademark for Lithuania as the heart of the Baltics. While presenting his book around the world he noticed that further from Europe Lithuania is not well known. Jovaiša believes that the best solution to this problem is to stand apart from better know Baltic region. He hopes that his idea will get public attention and they will start using this trademark in their email signatures, power point presentations, business cards and any other communication.
Jovaiša criticized Lithuanian government’s decision to brand Lithuania country as brave. In his view, it does not produce any value for the country, and does not increase its attractiveness. He proposed to use something which is much more broadly recognized worldwide and based on that to build our communication. This ‘something’ is the Baltic Sea. Jovaiša claims that heart is a very powerful symbol with multiple layers of meanings. Since Lithuania is the biggest of the three Baltic countries, has the widest heritage of history, culture, architecture and archaeology and is the only one to have a national state back in thirteenth century, this symbol is very suitable.
Marius Jovaiša has established a public enterprise – a not for profit organization “Lithuania – heart of the Baltics”. It will develop the brand and spread it both in Lithuania and abroad.

All of that creates a vast medium of thoughts for researchers active in energy economics and great challenges for politicians responsible for energy policies.

The Latvian national airline airBaltic will start five new direct routes from Vilnius International Airport (VIA) as soon as December 2009, the airline said.
The flights to Paris start from from Dec. 18, Berlin from Dec. 21, and Munchen from Dec. 19, while another two routes to Amsterdam and Rome are planned for Jan. 4 and Jan. 11 2010.
The announcement comes one day after Lithuanian government and its Transport Ministry decided to lower tariffs at VIA as of Dec. 1 of this year. Tariffs, which used to be up to 40 Litas (11.5 euros) are now announced to be as much as 10 times lower – just 4 Litas per passenger.
airBaltic is said to be signing a new agreement with the airport. The airline will also evaluate opening four other routes during the summer of 2010. The reduced tariffs in Vilnius allow for a volume-based system of discounts of the same type that was available to airlines at the Riga airport until November of this year.
“We are convinced that next year the Vilnius airport will have every chance to become the most rapidly growing airport in Europe,” says airBaltic president Bertolt Flick.
