- Diena prints an article on the proposal of the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration to permit granting double citizenship
Diena prints an article on the proposal of the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration to permit granting double citizenship to children of Latvian residents who were born abroad. In an interview with the newspaper, academician Atis Lejins has stated that discussions on the rights to grant double citizenship not only to children will also be launched soon. According to historian Aivars Strangs, granting double citizenship with EU countries or the U.S.A would not constitute a threat for Latvia.
