Evidence

Quotes

Several thousand more Russian citizens in Latvia could be required to pass a Latvian language exam.

The Constitutional Court ruled in February that one of the groups of Russian citizens living in Latvia had not been tested initially.

The Saeima will begin to view the relevant amendments this week, Latvian Television reported.

The component authorities will also carry out an in depth examination to assess whether a person poses a threat to national security.

If a person cannot speak the language or is not subject to access lists, pass security risks, they may be subject to deportation.
