Members of the Estonian Riigikogu recently questioned Cultural Minister Heidy Purga about the status of the Estonia extension project, expressing concerns that planning and design may be effectively at a standstill. According to the Ministry of Culture, the matter is still being addressed, although specific details were not clarified. The inquiry highlighted a lack of transparency regarding the project's advancement, with both the public and parliament unclear about its progression, possibly hindered by heritage conservation and UNESCO world heritage issues.

The inquiry was made by a group of Riigikogu representatives who emphasized that the parliament has consistently demonstrated a clear political will to support the Estonia extension. In 2021, the project was officially recognized as a national priority among culturally significant structures. This established intent appears to have not translated into tangible progress, leading to frustrations among lawmakers who are keen on moving forward with the plans.

In 2024, the Riigikogu made a resolution to propose solutions for the construction of the Estonia extensions. However, concerns still remain about potential delays caused by bureaucratic hurdles related to environmental and cultural regulations. The ongoing dialogue between the Ministry of Culture and the Riigikogu represents an ongoing commitment to ensuring that the Estonia extension project successfully navigates these challenges and can proceed without unnecessary delays.
