  • Ministry of Finances provides on request informational edition about transition into Euro in Russian language

 Vesti Segodnya reports that the Liepaja Russian Community on its request received from the Ministry of Finances 5,000 copies of informational edition about transition into Euro in Russian language. The Ministry of Finances issued 200,000 copies of the edition in Russian language with a view to distribute those among Latvian residents. However, the State Language Centre restricted the distribution arguing that the state institutions are allowed to provide informative materials in foreign languages only on request. The newspaper also quotes the directors of the Latvian Centre for Human Rights Anhelita Kamenska who said that the state language requirements regarding the distribution of information in foreign languages should be revised as the situation in many cases becomes absurd.
