Open Letter to Polish and Ukrainian Diplomats
My name is Zoia Skoropadenko. I am a UNESCO recognised artist.
I was born in Ukraine, have traveled all around world and lived for the last 15 years (almost half of my life) in the Principality of Monaco.
The government of Monaco has granted me the status of a professional artist of Monaco. While being a long time resident of Principality of Monaco, I am still a proud Ukrainian citizen and passport holder.

“Treasure your vote – it is a privilege!”
Conference, Monday 3rd March
It is your civic duty to vote in the European Parliament elections! 15% of the Latvian population does not have the right to do so.
Background
With the upcoming European elections in May 2014, the Latvian Non-Citizens Congress (LNCC), with the support of the International Foundation for Better Governance, a Brussels based NGO, is launching a pan-European support campaign aimed to encourage European voters to exercise their fundamental right to vote. The LNCC is a Latvian NGO defending the interests of the 300 000 non-citizens denied an electoral voice in their country and in the European Union.
At the Third meeting of the Latvian Non-Citizens Congress, Jelena Bacinska was elected as Social Ombudsman. Martin Banks writing exclusively for European Business Review reported on the meeting.
James Wilson attended the 3rd Congress of the Latvian Non-Citizens and was interviewed by Baltica.ru on his impressions.
The IFBG has today launched their new website.
