The participants of the meeting discussed if and how the principle of separation of powers had been realized in Estonia after regaining its independence. They analysed how the state institutions with their delimited jurisdiction had succeeded in working together with the Riigikogu and the Government of the Republic, and in finding democratic solutions to the problems cropped up. They also reasoned if the decisions important to the state in terms of both domestic and foreign policy had been made based on the principle of separation of powers.
In addition, the expediency of creating constitutional court as a separate institution was dealt with at the meeting.
