Not for external ones...it'll be interesting to see what happens to Kaliningrad when Russia collapses later this year.

You mean Královec, Czech's new baltic sea port? ;)
As far as I know there are historical claims from Finland, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, and now found out about the Czech one.

Germany has formally waived any claims of its former territories east of the Oder-Neisse line with the 2+4 treaty leading up to the reunification in 1990, so we can't be bothered anyway. A Czech Kralovec really makes the most sense ;)

If Europe is smart, it will turn Kaliningrad into Russia's Taiwan.
A bit too optimistic
