If the citizens of Russia or Belarus already have significant participation or decisive influence in such businesses, they can no longer exercise their right to vote here. Actions taken contrary to this provision will be declared void.
The Latvian Ministry of Economy, justifying the need to adopt the bill, explained that Russia’s military aggression on the territory of the sovereign state of Ukraine grossly violates international law and significantly threatens the security and stability of European Union, including Latvia.
