Secondly, FIBA European Basketball Championship will be held in Lithuania in 2011 and it will be a good chance for Lithuania to introduce itself to the world. That’s why the pavilion chose basketball to be today’s present, Kriauciunas said.
The winner Zhang was very excited. He said he could speak a little Russian and was looking forward to touring the country. The Lithuania Pavilion is in Zone C. The design comes from the image of budding flowers, symbolizing a vigorous and blooming country and its cities. The exhibition centers on the success stories of urban development, architectural and cultural heritage, natural protection, people's achievements, sports and scientific development, among others.
