A process that began in December 2019 with a plea from Allied leaders has accumulated steam, with reflections from across different regions and multiple domains. It is indeed essential that NATO enters and endures the next decade in light of current and (un)expected events and developments. The Latvian Institute of International Affairs contributes to the #NATO2030 reflection process with a collection of views from academics and think-tankers from across the three Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as Poland. The well-known Russia- related concerns of the Baltics and Poland are ever evident, and they maintain prevalence in this analysis as well. Nevertheless, this group of experts from North-Eastern Europe also underline other significant themes. These issues include the internal cohesion of NATO, new horizons of operation and resilience, as well as the need to strengthen and expand NATO partnerships. We hereby acknowledge the generous support provided by the NATO Public Diplomacy Division. As this volume of articles demonstrates, solidarity and solid partnerships remain indispensable in order to efficiently navigate through times of uncertainty and shape regional and national security strategies in a wider transatlantic framework. We hope you will enjoy the reading! Māris Andžāns, Mārtiņš Vargulis 8 Address by the President of the Republic of Latvia In December 2019 at the NATO leaders’ meeting marking the 70th anniversary of the Alliance, Allies agreed to initiate a reflection process to further strengthen the political dimension of NATO. The process of #NATO2030 was established. We are now able to consider the implications and to plan for the implementation of the findings of the Secretary General’s group of experts. Meanwhile, the Latvian Institute of International Affairs (LIIA) has been fortunate to bring together 16 distinguished Polish, Lithuanian, Estonian and Latvian specialists in order to contribute to the discussion from a regional perspective. During its 71 years, NATO has been not only the most successful defense Alliance in the history but has also maintained its core values and democratic principles. Among these is the right of all Allies to have their voices heard and the certainty that their security needs are recognized by the Alliance. This has been convincingly exemplified by the Enhanced Forward Presence in our countries which has substantially increased our security and demonstrated once again NATO solidarity and cohesion. Now, as we look ahead to a rapidly transforming world, Baltic and Polish researchers offer a set of conclusions indicating the most challenging aspects and ways forward from a regional perspective. Particular attention has been paid to the transatlantic link, Baltic defense, as well as the role of Russia in the regional security constellation and its relations with NATO. This publication offers a collection of recommendations reflecting the perception of the Baltic States and Poland. Their aim is to contribute to the overall study developed by the group of experts. While raising awareness of the most challenging issues from a regional perspective is important, so too is the development of a wide- ranging discussion on the issues regarding NATO’s future development. This is important for the Baltic States and Poland, but it is equally important in all other Allied countries. We must ensure that there is an 9 informed debate in the mass media about NATO. This must result in improvements to the popular understanding of NATO and its activities which is essential to the Alliance’s future success. With this in mind, LIIA will be organising a public discussion based on these papers in the middle of December. I hope and trust that this will facilitate the kind of public debate which will strengthen NATO’s role in the future and enable the implementation of #NATO2030 findings. We live in a rapidly changing security environment in which NATO must adapt quickly if it is to continue to provide the defence and security on which we all rely. NATO has demonstrated this ability in the past. Now it must do so once again.

In the period of 1-2 April in Chisinau was held the third Fighting Irregular Migration in Moldova- FIRMM training for judges. The overall objective of the event was to provide an overview on the principle standards for migrants’ protection under the Council of Europe tools, with a special focus on the European Convention of Human Rights (ECtHR). The seminar topic was chosen at the special request of the Moldovan National Institute of Justice, based on the need to enhance the acquaintance of judges and prosecutors with the CoE standards and European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence. Experts from Human Rights Directorate of the Council of Europe, Strasbourg and a lawyer from the European Court of Human Rights delivered presentations on the main instruments and handbooks of the CoE concerning the status of migrants. The discussions were based on the international jurisprudence and the national judicial practice. An added value of the seminar was the practical talks on selected migrants-related case law, processed in the ECtHR. As well at the seminar was presented the draft of the Resource book on human rights protection of migrants’ for judiciary developed within the project and planned to be printed in the next few months.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

First of all, an urgent priority for government is to stop the spread of Covid-19 in the country and diminish consequences of pandemic. In February Latvia has started wide vaccination process with online vaccination sign-up website launched to make registration process easier for inhabitants. Health Minister admitted that many are already applying for vaccination on the website "Manavakcina.lv", and this is useful and valuable information for organizing the vaccination process. Currently, vaccine is provided for priority groups like healthcare practitioners and staff of social care centers; general public is invited to register in advance and wait their turn. February was also marked by Latvian participation in online China-CEEC summit, which also influences domestic politics of Latvia, and issues of observance of the principles of democracy in the organization of administrative territorial reform in the country. Vaccination process starts in February: Prime Minister and President get their first dose of vaccine One of priority domestic politics issues is Covid-19 vaccination.
