PrintMemorial for 20th anniversary of Baltic Way to be unveiled in the Lilli-Ungurin border
On August 23, the Karksi municipality from Estonia and the Nauksene municipality from Latvia will unveil a memorial for the 20th anniversary of the Baltic Way in the Lilli-Ungurin border crossing point, writes the National Broadcasting/LETA.
The monument depicts seven life-sized human figures cut from the metal wall, standing, hand-in-hand. The author of the monument is the Latvian artist Andris Dunkurs who works with metals.
On behalf of Estonia, the minister of foreign affairs Urmas Paet, professor Rein Taagepera and the Viljandi County People's Front leader Arnold Kimber will give speeches at the opening ceremony. Tõnis Mägi, Ieva Akuratere and local performers will perform.
A symbolic Baltic Way chain will be formed with those who attend the ceremony and a folk party will follow the ceremony.
