The Estonian government is set to hold a press conference today at noon, featuring Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur and Minister of Rural Affairs and Agriculture Hendrik Johannes Terras. The event will be broadcast live on the ERR portal, providing viewers an opportunity to stay updated on the latest government developments and policies.

As Prime Minister Kristen Michal is currently in Brussels, delivering a speech at a high-level conference dedicated to EU countries along the eastern border, the conference with Pevkur and Terras will showcase important discussions about national security and rural development. Michal's attendance at international meetings, including a meeting with the President of the European Council, António Costa, and a gathering involving the three Baltic states and President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, underscores Estonia's strategic positioning in European politics and security matters.

The press conference is an essential platform for government officials to communicate their plans and respond to current challenges. Given the context of ongoing discussions about the security landscape in Europe, particularly regarding eastern borders, the insights from this press briefing may reveal the Estonian government’s stance and initiatives aimed at addressing regional issues and enhancing safety in the Baltic region.
