Lithuania (the Republic of Lithuania), is the state of 3 million in the Baltic Sea coast. They are a member of the European Union since 1 May 2004. Originally they planned to adopt the euro instead of the litas from 1 January 2007. They request was rejected by comission, as they fulfilled only four of five condition defined (the inflation rate was too high). In the history of euro, this was the first time that an EU member state's application was rejected. After the elections, the Lithuanian parliament defined the introduction of the euro as one of major priorities. In 2013 the parliament official declared the adoption on January 1, 2015.
