Chas reports that a retired lieutenant colonel sued the State Language Centre disputing its decision to fine him for insufficient state language proficiency. The claimant believes that his Latvian language proficiency is sufficient and he was fined due to his refusal to answer questions of language inspectors which did not have any relation to his work duties.

Vesti Segodnya reports about a conference of Russian NGOs from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia held in Vilnius, Lithuania. The participants discussed the notion of a Russian compatriot and consolidation of Russian NGOs. Representatives of NGOs from Latvia stated that organisations in Latvia succeeded in consolidation and gaining support of mass media and two political parties.
