The Supreme Council of the Republic of Latvia (Latvian: Latvijas Republikas Augstākā Padome) was the transitional parliament of Latvia from 1990[1] to 1993, after the restoration of independence. The Supreme Council was elected on 18 March 1990 as the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR.[2] On 4 May 1990 it declared the restoration of independence of Latvia and began a transitional period which was to last until the election of a new Saeima to replace it. Independence was fully restored on 21 August 1991 during the Soviet coup attempt. The Supreme Council ended its work in 6 July 1993, with the first session of the fifth Saeima.
