Statement in connection with course of election in Abkhazia and South Ossetia
|
|
|
 On March 25 in two republics to the lot of which severe trials fell during recent years – in South Ossetia and Abkhazia – correspondingly presidential and parliamentary election took place. Having proclaimed their independence in 2008, after aggressive attack of Georgia on South Ossetia, both republics are in a very difficult period of building of statehood and restoration of economy. These processes are accompanied by complicated external social-political circumstances, conflicts of local elites and high corruption level that is traditional for these regions. It was no mere chance that presidential election had to be held twice in South Ossetia – first time the election was acknowledged invalid.

Statement in connection with march of Waffen-SS veterans that took place in Riga
|
|
|
 On March 16 a march of former Waffen-SS legionaries took place in Riga.
It should be reminded that Latvian society had split in its attitude towards the march that is held for already several years. March 16 was chosen the day of holding of march because it was on this very day that the corps formed in Latvia first entered a battle with Soviet troops in 1943 near Leningrad. In 1994-2001 this event was marked on the state level but in 2001 March 16 was excluded from the list of official holidays on the initiative of the president of Latvia. Nevertheless a march of former Nazis is held annually meeting approval of nationalistically orientated Latvian citizens and young neo-Nazis and being accompanied by actions of protest of former prisoners of concentration camps and anti-fascists.
