• MP Sandra Kalniete: there is too much Russian language on Latvian TV channels
• Vesti Segodnya reports about a seminar on perspectives of self-organisation of Russians in Latvia
• Russian NGOs and survivors of the Nazi concentration camp in Salaspils object against placement of a memorial for German soldiers on the territory of memorial to the victims of the concentration camp

Telegraf reports that the MP Sandra Kalniete has stated that there is too much Russian language on Latvian TV channels. Therefore, the MP considers that the law on Radio and Television should include norms regulating proportion of Latvian and other languages in the content of TV broadcasts. Such norm was already abolished following the decision of the Constitutional Court, which found it discriminatory.

Vesti Segodnya reports about a seminar on perspectives of self-organisation of Russians in Latvia. Participants, mostly members of Russian NGOs, have discussed issues which hinder unity of Russian NGOs.

Vesti Segodnya reports about plans to place on the territory of former Nazi concentration camp in Salaspils (presently memorial to the victims of the concentration camp) a memorial for German soldiers died in the WWII. Several Russian NGOs and survivors of the concentration camp object against such plans arguing that it is sacrilege towards hundreds of thousands people tortured to death in the camp and insult to those who survived in the Nazi camp. According to the director of the Salaspils memorial, a number of German soldiers, who died as prisoners of war were buried on the territory of the present Salaspils memorial, therefore, German side wants to take care of these burials and place its memorial as well.
