En este artículo se analizan los intereses de Estonia, Letonia y Lituania frente su integración en la UE y en la OTAN, evaluando la opinión pública báltica frente al "regreso de sus sociedades a Europa", y se ofrece una reflexión en torno a los problemas que enfrentan las minorías étnicas, principalmente polacas, rusas, bielorrusas y ucranianas in situ.]]></p></abstract>

Ensure its independence starting with an arduous process of transformation to a post-socialist country. Achieve membership to the European Union (EU) and in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Reject any attempt by Russia in order to be incorporated back into its zone of influence of post-Cold war (to the next closest). In this article, the interest of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania against their integration into the EU and NATO are analyzed, evaluating Baltic's public opinion against the "return of their societies in Europe" and a reflection on the problems faced by the ethnic minorities, mainly Polish, in situ Russian, Belarusian and Ukrainian in situ.]]></p></abstract>
