Latvia to Limit Russian Citizens’ Ability to Buy Land

The Latvian government coalition has reached a consensus on introducing a law that restricts Russian citizens from purchasing land in Latvia, as reported by LSM.

Edmunds Jurevics, chairman of the New Unity faction in the Latvian parliament, stated that the coalition has conceptually agreed to impose restrictions on Russian citizens, drawing inspiration from Finland’s approach.

Jurevics emphasized that the coalition, in collaboration with experts and partners, will assess the most effective method to legally limit Russian citizens’ ability to acquire real estate in Latvia.

While the proposal’s details remain unclear, a decision from the Latvian Parliament is necessary for the law to come into effect.
