 The Draft of the Future
In October this year Moscow Contemporary Development Institute in cooperation with the association "Baltic Forum" published a book, "The Draft of the Future". The authors of the book are politicians, intellectuals and the Baltic Forum founding members - Jānis Urbanovičs and Igor Jurgens. The book is addressed to the Russian readers. The book is dedicated to historical and current Latvian-Russian economic and cultural exchanges, "Latvian factor" in the history of Russia during the period of the last 300 years, as well as the influence of Russians on the development of Latvia. Currently, the book is being translated into Latvian and will be issued in the beginning of 2011.
 Development Priorities of Latvia
The Baltic forum invited the scientist and analyst of economic processes of ‘Neatkarīgā Rīta Avīze' Juris Paiders and president of the Baltic Forum Jānis Urbanovičs to a discussion. The goal of the discussion was to map out the change that has matured in the Latvian society and to understand how it should be treated both in the nearest future and in a further perspective up to 2025. The discussion took place during several periods from November 2009 to April 2010. The book was written in the form of a discussion, where one of the authors - Juris Paiders - looked at processes from scientific and critical perspective, and the other author - Jānis Urbanovičs - examined the priorities of Latvia from the perspective of realistic policy. The dominance of right-wing governments for nearly twenty years has led Latvia to the deepest crisis. The book provides an outline of a positive program to overcome the crisis and the priorities to be implemented in Latvia in order for the country to become a respectable and prosperous European state whose citizens are proud of their country.

 Agenda for Latvia - 2004
Baltic Forum, 2003
In early spring, the Baltic Forum addressed the society with a proposal to aggregate the existing standpoints on the presence of a strategy for Latvia and its fundamental principles at this time and after accession to the EU and NATO. We have received more than fifty manuscripts, which comprise the present issue of publications. It certainly does not reflect all standpoints. It cannot be even claimed to represent all fundamentally differing views, even though we did not select or restrict the authors in any way. The only thing we restricted was the size of the publications. However it has to be honestly admitted that the majority of the participants phrasing it into politically correct terms, failed if not to observe, but even to notice the mentioned restriction. Despite of that we are grateful to all of them, because only together we could make this publication, which was intended as a proposal for expanding the debate in the society on the future opportunities, expectations, goals for Latvia and ways to attain them, come into existence.
