Recent Commission’s report on Latvian economic achievements seems a coincidence: in a couple of months the EU institutions would make a final decision on the country’s accession to eurozone. But the report has appeared at a right moment, i.e. to show the EU member states a real state-of-art in Latvian economy before a decisive step is taken.
