About this plate
THE INDEPENDENCE-ERA SERIES, AND THE WEAKEST RECORD IN THIS FILE, kept because omitting it would imply Lithuanian plates began at EU accession. 1990 is the date of the RESTORATION OF INDEPENDENCE (11 March 1990), which the single secondary source uses to bound the series; it is almost certainly EARLIER than the first Lithuanian plate issue, and no instrument was found. It is also NOT Estonia's date and NOT Latvia's: Lithuania restored independence in March 1990, Estonia and Latvia in 1991, and the three plate transitions were separate national acts on separate timetables. Soviet-era Lithuanian plates are not modelled, they belong to the union-wide system, outside this jurisdiction file.
