Linava, an association of Lithuanian hauliers, aims to simplify the procedure for employing foreigners from third countries in our country. Although carriers call it too strict, the Migration Department has banned 96 companies, including those in the transport sector, from providing brokerage letters for foreign workers for a certain period of time because of the threat of encouraging illegal migration. Yet thousands of newcomers continue to displease the employers who invited them, adding to the illegal population by paying huge sums of money to get into Europe without getting a job. The authorities have no answer as to how many remain in Lithuania.

Weightlessness as experienced by the astronauts of the International Space Station was experienced by 26 students and others on the Zero-G mission. As part of the Czech Journey to Space project, they flew in a special aircraft over the Krkonoše and Orlické Mountains. Scientists often perform various experiments during such flights, so the students were able to enjoy the trip to the fullest. The project, aimed at promoting technical education and natural sciences, began last September. And the flight in the weightlessness-inducing Airbus A310 was its culmination, with 861 applicants at the beginning.

Oleg Burovs, a Member of the Parliament and leader of the party "Honour to serve Riga" (GKR), had obtained two large-format paintings worth around €15 000 for free - at least officially - for several years and had not declared them anywhere in his family's possession. His daughter, Inna Burov, deputy director of the Riga State Classical Gymnasium, now lives in a renovated house in the quiet centre of Riga, in a developer closely linked to the builders of the Mezaparks stage. Burova has not disclosed the fact that she has been using this 100 square metre apartment for the past few years in her declarations as a public official. The circumstances of the case are now being investigated by law enforcement authorities, reports Latvian Television's "De facto".
