Villu Reiljan noted that 39 contracting parties in the run-up to the election had signed a memorandum of understanding on the conclusion of a national agreement, and the Peoples Union intended to honestly adhere to the memorandum. "It would not be fair to turn a document, so important in view of our national interests like the National Agreement, into an object of political short-sighted bickering," the Chairman of the People's Union said.
President Rüütel thanked the People's Union for supporting the process of concluding the National Agreement.
