How technologies can help to solve
POLITICAL PROBLEMS
www.infobalt.lt
Good, friendly relations between Lithuania and Kaliningrad Region of Russia, cross-border movement of people in this area and related visa issues has become an "entrance" ticket for Lithuania to join the European Union.
The residents of Kaliningrad Region today have visa free entry to Lithuania, and vice versa
Before EU accession, Lithuania is planning to introduce visa regime in July 2003.
Russia would prefer to keep current visa free movement of people
from Kaliningrad to "great" Russia and in opposite direction
LITHUANIA AND KALININGRAD REGION

Electronic Travelling Visas on smart-cards for the residents of Kaliningrad Region can improve the border crossing possibilities for the residents of Kaliningrad Region
Political Project Idea Technologies can help to solve a political problem -
www.infobalt.lt
Use of mechanisms of PKI - Public Key Infrastructure - with electronic signature on smart-card as a toolkit for Electronic Visas or e-Visas
Technological Project Idea
www.infobalt.lt
… has the same purpose as a handwritten signature ... as handwritten visa
… could be role-based ... The same ...
… has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature ... The same ...
Digital signature – analogy - e-visa

KALININGRAD LITHUANIA
BORDER
Resident of Kaliningrad
Lithuania’s Border control police officer
Computer Center of Lithuania's Consulate Network must work as e-visa Certification Authority.
Lithuania's Consulate in Kaliningrad Region issues e-Visas for the residents of Kaliningrad
www.infobalt.lt
With the help of mobile computers, border control staff can quickly and easily (in 3-7 seconds) check the identity of a person, validate electronic visas and track the history of crossborder transitions (if necessary) in each particular case
Every year, some 1.5 million border-crossing transitions are made between Kaliningrad Region and Lithuania. Time spent on border-crossing procedures can be saved dramatically
System can work both in ONLINE and OFFLINE modes
System can be used by customs offices for tracing of transit procedures via Lithuania

Can improve the border crossing possibilities for the residents of Kaliningrad Region
With the help of PKI mechanisms for Electronic Visas, the project can integrate the business of Kaliningrad Region into the world of e-economy and enable all residents of Kaliningrad Region to be full participants of e-trade worldwide by using of e-signatures.
In the future, can be used for the movement within the EU
