• Russian Ambassador to Latvia Aleksandr Veshnyakov: good-neighbourly relations between Latvia and Russia are hindered by problem of non-citizens and Latvias attempts to rewrite history
• Russian NGOs in Jelgava complain that the City Council ignores them

The Russian Ambassador to Latvia Aleksandr Veshnyakov at a meeting with students of the University of Latvia stated that good-neighbourly relations between Latvia and Russia are hindered by two problems – problem of non-citizens and violation of rights of Russian compatriots and Latvia’s attempts to rewrite history and to lay on Russia liability for activities of non-existent Soviet state. The Ambassador believed that if Latvia eliminates those problems relation between two countries would considerably improve.
