Slesers provided no concrete evidence yesterday in his meeting with the president, writes LETA.
Zatlers promised to ask the Prosecutor General to personally monitor the investigation.
Slesers told reporters afterwards that the president clearly stated that "this matter must be pushed forward." Slesers added that the Norwegians are "disturbed at the developments, and that their reaction will be harsh."
As reported, Slesers announced in an interview on the LNT program "900 sekundes" this morning that Latvian intelligence services have been bugging rooms at the "Ridzene" hotel for several years.
The Constitutional Protection Bureau, Corruption Prevention Bureau and the Security Police all had no comment.
