For a meeting to be quorate, at least 31 Riga City Council members have to attend it. Only 23 City Council members attended today's meeting.

The meeting was not attended by any opposition City Council members today, as well as some members of Honor to Serve Riga.

As reported, Burovs, whose coalition has fallen apart, has agreed with the opposition parties to convene three council meetings that would not be quorate, thus creating a legal basis for dissolution of the Riga City Council.
