Latvia, as a European Union member state, practices its sovereign actions by dealing with such internal matters as education, therefore, it is unlikely that Russia's idea will see fruition, abiding by Latvian rules and regulations, the ministry indicated.
In order to establish an education institution in Latvia, one requires a license, accredited curriculum, and numerous other obligatory prerequisites. It would also be problematic for students to take exams, as they are in the state language.
