ENDiscourses on “Europe” in Lithuanian political and media fields have been discussed. Broad variety of contexts and meanings since the EU pre-accession debates has been shown. Mainly positive connotations in the mainstream political talks is contrasting with the particular negative aspects reflected in euro-sceptic campaigns, such as that of Ignalina nuclear power station referendum, and “Referendum on Land”.
