Vesti Segodnya prints opinions of its readers on the reasons why they do not naturalise. According to some readers they do not naturalise because they cannot agree with interpretation of some historical facts included in the naturalisation test such as occupation of Latvia by the Soviet Union. Some persons consider that it is humiliating to go trough naturalisation procedure, while the others have troubles to pass Latvian language examination.

Latvijas Avize reports that Russian delegation in the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe will try to achieve exclusion of notion non-citizen from Estonian and Latvian legal acts. According to the head of Russian delegation, such notion contradicts principles of the European Human Rights Convention.
