The head of state said that Estonian voters are inspired by their country’s experience as an EU Member State over the last 20 years. “Surveys have shown that we are very European-minded, but the question always remains as to how to bring Europe closer to everyone in Estonia,” he remarked. He expressed his hope that the election campaign would be marked out by constructive debate on key issues such as employment, economic progress and support for Ukraine.
Discussing the challenges posed by climate change, President Karis remarked that Europe should view the green and digital transitions as a single process.
