As previously reported, May 4 is a holiday in Latvia as it's the day the country reinstated its independence. That day the Supreme Council of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic adopted the Declaration "On the Restoration of Independence of the Republic of Latvia" and renewed the 1922 Constitution of Latvia, making it a free and democratic state once again. This year will be the 30th anniversary of the event.
