In this regard it will act on a case-by-case basis in exercise of its own sovereign right in the name of the Republic of Estonia.".
Greece

This statement shall apply to all Conventions or other international Agreements deposited
with the Secretary-General to which the Hellenic Republic and the former Yugoslav
Republic of Macedonia are parties.

Having restored its independence on the 11th of March 1990, the Republic of Lithuania
neither is nor can be the successor state of the former USSR. The Republic of Lithuania
can not take the responsibility for the treaties concluded by the former USSR, for
it neither participated in making those treaties nor influenced them. Therefore the
Republic of Lithuania can not take the responsibility for the past treaties concluded
by the USSR.
