What is being published and with what reference

• Publication title: “Regarding the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary”.
• Document type: Information from the President of the State.
• Official reference: OP 2026/191, No. 1.
• Issue number and date: No. 191, October 5, 2026.
• Structural unit: CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS, institution President of the State.

The wording of the heading is used in the feminine gender – “regarding the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary” [female form] –, indicating that a woman is being appointed to the position. The notice is the first numbered entry in the entire issue, thus it opens the content of OP 2026/191.

Information from the President of the State as an official channel

The section “CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS” is the first section of the official gazette, and the President of the State documents published therein are the official form of notification for decisions made by high-level state officials. The appointment of an Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary is a diplomatic personnel decision that determines Latvia’s representation abroad; therefore, it is published directly in this section, rather than in the section for institutions or local governments.

The document type “information” differs from other types used in the same issue – for example, “Notice of the President of the State” or “Order of the Prime Minister” –, and it indicates a notification character rather than a normative act.

Other content of OP 2026/191

Besides the appointment of the ambassador, three other numbered entries were published in issue No. 191:

• Information from the State Plant Protection Service – “Regarding the registration of fertilizers and substrates and the annulment of registration certificates” (No. 2).
• Information from the State Forest Service – “Regarding the creation of a micro-reserve” (No. 3).
• Binding Regulations No. 10 of the Ventspils Municipality Council – amendments to Binding Regulations No. 6 of August 31, 2023, “On the procedure for leasing industrial fishing rights in Ventspils Municipality” (No. 4).

The official notices section in the same issue also includes the following rubrics: job vacancy notices (1), various announcements (23), document recalls (2), auctions (29), property relations between spouses (5), inheritance notices (65), notices to creditors and interested persons (1), revocations of powers of attorney (4), calls to settle obligations (8), court summons (2), and Enterprise Register notices (5).
