• Lawyer Elizabete Krivcova criticizes the Latvian report on implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities of the Council of Europe

A lawyer Elizabete Krivcova in an interview with Vesti Segodnya criticizes the Latvian report on implementation of the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities of the Council of Europe. Mrs Krivcova believes the report is drawn with an aim to show that Latvia perfectly implements the convention. However, the report was drawn without real involvement of representatives of ethic minorities and it does not include some important events and issues such as referendum on status of Russian language or private initiative to place streets signs both in Russian and Latvian languages.

Yours sincerely,
Integration Monitor
