Up to 6,000 Russian citizens in #Latvia are expected to receive official notices next month asking them to leave the country, according to Ingmārs Līdaka, head of parliament's Committee on Citizenship, Migration and Public Mobilization.

“There are 5,000 to 6,000 of them. They are people who have not shown any desire, either to take the exam or to obtain a temporary residence permit. They are silent. According to current legislation, the Citizenship and Migration Office simply has to send them a request to leave the country within three months," he said.
