Margus Allikmaa has been reappointed to continue his role as the director of the Estonian Cultural Capital for the next four years. In a statement, he identified one of his key challenges for the new term as the clarification of the Cultural Capital Act. Allikmaa mentioned that there was no public competition for his reappointment as such a competition is not required by law; in fact, previous directors who were reappointed have also done so without a competition.

The decision to apppoint Allikmaa was made by the governing council, which indicated stability in leadership for the cultural institution. Reflecting on the past 32 years since the re-establishment of the Cultural Capital, he suggested that while recent changes have occurred more frequently compared to earlier years, he does not foresee substantial changes ahead, hinting at a steady approach moving forward.

Allikmaa expressed a desire to enhance the service offerings of the Cultural Capital while balancing stability and necessary evolution in the organization. This approach could signify his intent to maintain the core values of the institution while navigating through both challenges and opportunities in Estonia's cultural landscape over the next few years.
