• New publication How integrated is Latvian society
• State Language Centre might punish a supermarket for posters which do not comply with the State Language Law

Newspapers report about presentation of a new publication “How integrated is Latvian society”. The book is edited by Latvian social and political scientists. According the book’s editor, political scientist and first minister of integration Nils Muiznieks, there is progress in integration field regarding education and state language proficiency but situation became worse in labour market and social sphere. Mr. Muiznieks also believes that there is no integration policy in Latvia because there is no political demand for it. Other author of the book academician Mihails Hazans considers that Latvian society should be conditionally viewed as a new three-level model – two ethnically-linguistic groups and one combined integration group. Mr. Hazans believes that such model of a new nation will be well seen in 10 years.
