NRA reports that the State Border Guards repeatedly have drawn administrative protocols to six citizens of Thailand who were illegally employed in Latvia. Also, on 15 and 14 October, the State Border Guards have detained 44 persons – 20 Latvian citizens and 24 foreigners for working without working permits.

Chas reports that leaders of the Russian NGO Veche have come up with a proposal to establish councils on non-citizens affairs in municipalities. According to Veche, such councils would promote trust of non-citizens towards local authorities, would help to determine real needs in public and cultural events for ethnic minorities and would help to understand reasons for slowdown of naturalisation speed and options for its promotion.
