Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs (United List, AS) will be on leave from 21 October to 23 October and will stay outside the country during that time. As a result, the meetings scheduled earlier for these days will not go ahead, including consultations on forming a new government.
What changes
The leave means the prime minister's previously planned meetings for the three days will not be held. Among them are the consultations linked to creating the new government, so those talks will not continue while he is away.
Reason for the leave
The leave is connected with private circumstances. No further details have been disclosed.
Why it matters
Consultations on forming a new government are part of the political process of settling the make-up of the next cabinet. The prime minister's absence pauses them temporarily, so the process will have to resume after he returns.
