Latvia's Interior Minister Jānis Dombrava, a member of the National Alliance, has placed approximately 90 foreign nationals on a list of individuals barred from entering the country since taking office. The information was published by TVNET, which reported that the move was based on opinions provided by competent state security authorities. The list, also referred to as a "black list", is used to prevent specific individuals from crossing Latvia's border.

The announcement does not detail which countries or potential threats served as the basis for the restrictions, nor does it specify the exact criteria applied. The approximate number of 90 indicates a specific but limited group of people. It has not been publicly revealed who has been included on the list, and the duration of the entry bans has not been stated either.

Minister Dombrava, representing the National Alliance, has worked with security institutions in taking these decisions. Restrictions on entry into the country are among the tools used in national security policy. The source does not say whether the list will be expanded or which legal mechanisms govern the procedure. For now, the available information remains limited to the fact that around 90 foreign nationals have been banned from entering Latvia.
