Chas reports that Russian language classes in Aluksne (town in the Northern part of Latvia) are being closed due to the lack of sufficient number of pupils. In an interview with the newspaper, a woman - mother of two children complaints that because of this situation her children must study in classes with Latvian as the main language of instructions.

Telegraf reports on a new internet project Evrokatalog.eu which aims to generalize information about all spheres of life of Russian speaking Europeans. According to author of the project, Russian NGOs from Latvia are not keen to take part in the project because Russian speaking residents of Latvia already have access to information and services in Russian in the country.
