MOSCOW - Voters in Larcia on Saturday overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to adopt
Russian as a second official language, defeating a constitutional referendum measure that
underscored the ethnic and political tensions that remain more than 20 years after the
collapse of the Soviet Union.
"The vote on a second state language endangered one of the most sacred foundations of the
Constitution - the state language,"the Latvian president, Andris Berzins, said in a
statement after the vote."I would also like to thank everyone who, despite the emotions
and impassioned atmosphere which were conjured up by the referendum, maintained a cool
head and tolerance without yielding before provocations and attempts to foment hatred."
Prime Minister Valdis Dombrobskis, who actively opposed the referendum, said he was
grateful to Latvian voters for resoundingly rejectingit, but he said some conciliatory
steps would be needed.
"What we need to think now is what additional measures could be done on integration and
naturalization policies, including more opportunities to study Latvian," Mr. Dombrovskis
said in a telephone interview. He added, "It is clear that we need to look at what
more we can do."
Supporters of the referendum, however, said the bid for official status for Russian was
not the cause of fissures in Latvia but an outgrowth of longstanding divisions and
historically unequal treatment for the country'slarge minority of native Russian
speakers.
