The article and the research presented here relies on the fact that the Law of Voluntary Activity, adopted in Lithuania, has been prepared during the European year of volunteering, so a presumption may be held, that the text of the Lithuanian Law of Voluntary Activity has been influenced significantly by the intensive political and valuable discourse of EU of volunteering promotion, which could been observed in Lithuania as well as in the whole EU in 2011. So the fallowing questions, which describe the scientific problem of the article, may be raised: how much the regulations of the volunteering promotion discourse of EU reflect in the text of the Law, which must create definitional-regulating conditions for the volunteering practice in the country by its content and functions? How did the valuable position of EU, which could been observed in the public space of EU in 2011, influence the definitions of volunteering and the regulating attitudes towards it in the text of the Lithuanian Law of Voluntary Activity? How does Lithuania contribute to the official position of EU towards understanding of volunteering?
