The checks are part of efforts to enforce immigration laws and counter potential political subversion linked to Russia's electoral activities conducted from Latvian territory. Law enforcement stressed the importance of verifying legal stay permits to prevent misuse of Latvian territory for foreign political influence or destabilization efforts. This action fits within Latvia's broader approach to counter hybrid threats and maintain political and legal sovereignty.",

Latvian law enforcement agencies are actively monitoring such events to ensure compliance with immigration laws and to prevent possible hybrid threat actions.
