AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoLatvia’s political shock: Prime Minister Evika Siliņa has resigned after her coalition partners refused to back her dismissal of Defence Minister Andris Sprūds over a “stray” drone incident, leaving her without a parliamentary majority and setting up caretaker government talks ahead of October elections. Security & drones: The fallout underlines how quickly drone incursions are reshaping NATO Baltic drills and procurement priorities, with Latvia and partners testing unmanned ground systems alongside aerial drones. Regional diplomacy: Jordan’s deputy PM Ayman Safadi met Estonia’s president and leaders to push cooperation across IT, tourism, investment, cybersecurity and defence, while also discussing regional de-escalation. Travel rules & planning: Latvia’s “wild camping” rights are real—but where you can pitch a tent depends on forest law, protected areas, and private property limits. Transport & mobility: airBaltic is adding winter routes Riga–Turin and Vilnius–Geneva, while EU rail travel keeps climbing, reaching 8.7 billion trips last year.
