• Sub-committee on elaboration of Citizenship Law finished its work on draft amendments to the Citizenship Law

The Saeima’s sub-committee on elaboration of Citizenship Law finished its work on draft amendments to the Citizenship Law and forwarded those for approval to the Legal Affairs Committee. The work on the draft law continued for almost two years. The major changes concern allowing dual citizenship and minimising bureaucratic procedure on registration of non-citizens’ children born in Latvia as Latvian citizens. The Parliament may review and support the draft law before the summer holidays. Vesti Segodnya, Neatkariga
