Both the Spelling, the language status and the need to use it in Latgale are an object of frequent discussion, so this European Day event is an opportunity to find answers to unclear questions, as well as to consolidate or change views on the Latvian language and its place in the region, country and Europe in the form of discussions and negotiations.
