- Saeima supported draft amendments stipulating that only those doctorate papers which study development of particular language can be written and defended in non-EU languages
- Saeima refused proposal to proclaim 9 May as Victory day in Latvia
The Saeima supported draft amendments to the Law on Scientific Activity proposed by the MP Ina Druviete (Civic Union) stipulating that usage of non-EU language in defending doctorate papers is only allowed if the paper is in philology and is directly dealing with the development of that language. The amendments do not apply to other fields such as studies of literature or folklore. The author of the amendment, Mrs.Druviete, stated that unless the restriction is supported, the self-sufficiency of Russian language in Latvia will grow. Vesti Segodnya, Latvijas Avize
