'Declarations not enough,' Moscow tells ‘concerned’ OSCE after Latvia expels journalist
Russia has demanded that the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) take concrete steps to ensure press freedom in Latvia, after the Baltic state deported a Russian documentary maker without explanation.
“We hope you will immediately take measures within your mandate to change this approach of Latvia authorities towards Russian journalists. Declarations are not enough, actions are highly needed,” tweeted the Russian foreign ministry Friday night, in response to an OSCE statement published earlier.
.@OSCE_RFoM We hope you will immediately take measures within your mandate to change this approach of #Latvia authorities towards #Russian journalists. Declarations are not enough, actions are highly needed.
