Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to present the problem as seen from the Swedish perspective, with due regard to foreign policy aims of neutral Sweden, its activity in the League of Nations, and its attitude towards the situation on the other side of the Baltic Sea. The Polish-Lithuanian conflict was carefully observed from Stockholm, but without any Swedish engagement. Only in November of 1920 the League of Nations asked Sweden, among other countries, to send to Vilnius a military unit to protect the planned plebiscite area.
