Lithuanian children take part in a march in support of joining the EU outside the parliament in Vilnius, Lithuania, Thursday, May 8, 2003. The poster reads "We are for Lithuania in the EU. And what about you?" Lithuania, bounced between one power to another through the years, is the first of the former Soviet Baltic republics to decide whether to join the European Union as polls open this weekend for a two-day referendum.
