Eastern Frontline Mission to Latvia
On Tuesday and Wednesday, ECR MEP Reinis Pozņaks and the Eastern Frontline Group will host a delegation participating in an informal European Parliament mission to Latvia.
The mission will provide a high-level opportunity to engage directly with key actors shaping Europe’s defence innovation landscape. The programme includes a visit to the NATO Innovation Range at the Sēlija Military Training Area, where participants will observe real-world testing of advanced defence technologies, with a particular focus on drone and counter-drone systems. The mission will continue in Riga with the Drone Summit 2026, a high-level gathering bringing together political leaders, military officials, industry executives, and researchers. The summit will feature strategic discussions, expert panels, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities focused on the future of drone technology and modern warfare.
