It was agreed to meet at least once a year. The agreement has evolved into meetings of the delegations of supreme audit institutions of the Baltic Countries, with the representatives from the Nordic Countries and Poland participating since 2000.
The Auditor General, Mihkel Oviir will award Jonas Liaucus, Auditor General of Lithuania and Raits Cernajs, Auditor General of Latvia the medal of the State Audit Office to acknowledge their outstanding contribution to the cooperation between the supreme audit institutions of the Baltic Countries.
