This autumn the US Government finished the buildings construction program for former Russian military serviceman in the Baltic States. The program was completed but one building complex in Kursk which was not constructed due to some juridical problems. According to Latvian MFA information, there are still 4 military servicemen who claimed an apartment in Kursk, and MFA addressed the Russian Embassy to submit proposals how to solve this problem. The residence permits of these people have been prolonged for several times, the last time by December 31, 1999. DCMA Supervision Department Head J.Rudzats told Diena that along with those 4 people there could be about 20 retired militaries who had not left Latvia or at least had not drawn up the necessary documents. All people employed in Skrunda had left but those who had a legal possibility to stay. It was possible that some persons stayed in the country illegally, but the DCMA had no information about them.
