  • Head of the Presidents Strategic Analysis Commission Roberts Kilis: Latvia needs positive model of co-existence of ethnic Russians and ethnic Latvians
  • MP Janis Urbanovics appealed to the General Prosecutors Office with a claim against one of the leaders of nationalists party All for Latvia!

Social anthropologist, head of the Presidents Strategic Analysis Commission Roberts Kilis in an interview with Telegraf stated that Latvia needs positive model of co-existence of ethnic Russians and ethnic Latvians. Mr. Kilis believes that Latvians are used to view ethnic issues trough the light of the past or in the context of relations between Latvia and Russia and therefore until now there was no a single proposal about positive development of inter-ethnic relations.

Head of the party the Concord Centre, MP Janis Urbanovics appealed to the General Prosecutors Office asking to initiate a criminal procedure against one of the leaders of nationalists party All for Latvia! Janis Iesalnieks for intentional dissemination of false information which denigrates persons reputation in mass media. As reported, All for Latvia! accused Mr. Urbanovics of planning to provoke ethnic conflicts if the Concord Centre does not get into the government after the upcoming Saeimas elections.
