AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Air Defence & Security: Latvia’s new Defense Minister Raivis Melnis says the country will intercept all drones entering its airspace, while also backing Ukraine’s right to strike targets in Russia. Rīga Hospital Strain: Long ambulance queues outside Stradiņš Hospital have again delayed emergency care, with officials pointing to a mix of circumstances and noting the growing share of patients arriving on their own. Civil Defence Readiness: Major Rīga hospitals say they lack traditional underground shelters, but they have crisis plans and “safe rooms” to keep patients and staff protected during air threats. Drone Debris Probe: The National Armed Forces is still analysing fragments found in Latgale that may be linked to a drone incident shot down earlier this month. EU Defence Planning: Latvia will push the EU to speed up Eastern Flank defence projects, including drone and counter-drone work, at the upcoming European Council meeting. Transport & Business: airBaltic and EL AL signed a codeshare deal from 1 July to expand Riga–Tel Aviv connections and add more one-stop routes via Riga. Trade & Daily Life: From July 1, Latvia will apply a new €3 import duty per goods category on cheap online purchases shipped directly from outside the EU. Weather: Tuesday–Wednesday brings cloudy skies, rain and possible thunderstorms, with fog in places, before more stable conditions later in the week.
