“Eesti teab, et Balti koostöö Euroopa Liidus on kolme riigi kodanikele tõeliselt kasulik ainult siis, kui meie parlamendid ja valitsused mõistavad vajadust maksta nii piiriülese transporditaristu kui ka ühiste energiaprojektide eest,” rõhutas president Ilves, meenutades Euroopa Komisjoni toetuse saanud raudteed Rail Baltic ja Leetu kavandatavat uut tuumajaama, milles on osalemissoovist teatanud ka Eesti, Läti ja Poola.

“However, once more—during the campaign for the parliamentary election, smooth cooperation between those in power and the opposition is extremely important, along with mutual respect and the avoidance of steps that might disrupt society and push it away from a peaceful political contest,” said the Estonian Head of State.
