The fate of Janis Naglis, the head of the Latvian Privatisation Agency, is becoming more confusing . Unearthed recently is a work contract signed by former Economics Minister Ain rs lesers, which confirms Naglis in an open-ended contract. Analysts believe that the issue of privatisation and its politicising, which Naglis symbolises as a ranking member of Latvia's Way, is at the heart of this entire conflict, which threatens the stability of the governing coalition. Visiting US Energy Secretary Bill Richardson and Economics Minister Vladimirs Makarovs signed a clean-energy memorandum in Riga. The unemployment rate remained at 9.1 per cent throughout the country, at the end of January.
Experts are satisfied with the stability of the jobless rate over the past few months.
Riga still held the lowest regional jobless rate, at 4.9 per cent, and R zekne has the highest regional unemployment numbers, at 27.3 per cent. A minor correction. Goaltender Art rs Irbe of the Carolina Hurricanes did not participate in the NHL All-Star Game , as was previously stated . Irbe was strangely left off the roster, despite coming in second among voters for the position. However, Sandis Ozoli did participate in the game as a starter.
