RIGA, Jan 1 (LETA) - In a televised address shortly before midnight, Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis asked each inhabitant of Latvia to evaluate their attitude and responsibility toward the nation, at the same time believing that "Latvia can!". "We know full well that there are more challenges up ahead. The new year will require much patience not only for the government but each individual. This is no time to battle one another, this is a time for unified effort, knowing where we are headed and what kind of Latvia we are building. 2011 will then be a step toward a stronger and self-assured Latvia." His speech's overall theme was accented. "I urge you to at this moment to keep and hold in your mind two important, powerful and magical words - "Latvia can!". "Latvia can!" is our inspirational success stories, a project launched in 2008 when the first painful tumbles occurred, which brought a flood of pessimism. Nevertheless even then many businessmen, scientists, artists and specialists showed that they can carry Latvia's name in the world with pride. "Latvia can!" if we will be wise and self-assured, if we believe in the future of our nation and its people." Jānis Bagātais LETA
