Latvia

Situated in North-Eastern Europe with a coastline along the Baltic Sea, Latvia has borders with Estonia, Russia, Belarus and Lithuania. Not much more than a decade after it regained independence during the demise of the Soviet Union, Latvia became a European Union Member in May 2004. Latvia is also a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), and in 2014 became a member of the Eurozone, accepting the Euro as its method of currency.
