According to the Minister of Interior Linda Murniece, the Mayor of Riga Nils Usakovs should thoughtfully evaluate public security during upcoming 9 May events (Victory Day) because risk of provocations on this day is much higher than on 16 March. The Minister also believes that distribution of St. George ribbons (symbol of remembrance of the WWII) in Latvia is aimed at splitting the society.
