Latvia not to have "russian culture" any more
Latvia will not celebrate "Days of Russian culture" holiday any more.
As the minister of Latvian Cultural Department Helena Demakova informed refusal was caused by lack of money in the republic budget.
As the Baltic News Service informed budget money supplied for cultural events was used on the festival "Glorious Latvia" which took place in France.
In 2007 the French festival will take place in Russia.
In addition Demakova declared that in March 2004 Latvian Cultural Ministry and Russian Cultural Ministry signed an agreement to hold the Russian festival in Latvia, but the republic authorities didn?t reserve funds for the occasion.
