Saeima of the Republic of Latvia

On 21 August 1991 the transition period was concluded, and we started to manage our free and independent country. This was underlined by Solvita Āboltiņa, Speaker of the Saeima, when addressing the children and youth who participated in the logo contest for the 21 August celebrations.

On 21 August 2011, at 15:00 a classical music concert organised by the Saeima and devoted to the anniversary of restoration of Latvia’s independence will begin at the Latvian National Theatre.

On 21 August, several events will be held to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the de facto restoration of the independence of our state.

On 21 August 1991 the Supreme Council of the Republic of Latvia adopted the Constitutional Law on the Statehood of the Republic of Latvia, thus embarking on the path towards de facto restoration of independence of Latvia. Therefore, on 21 August we will celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the de facto independence of our state.
