Estonian Foreign Minister, Sven Mikser, said in Pristina today that he didn’t know there would be early elections in Kosovo at the time he planned his visit but underlined the importance of the voting process being transparent and fair.  Mikser said the people of Kosovo need to elect a government and a parliament they will be able to trust and that his country would continue supporting Kosovo and its efforts to join international organisations.

The Foreign policy of Estonia will not change when it comes to Kosovo, while chairing the Council of Europe.

We have no specific focus on the subjects that concern Kosovo, but if Kosovo decides to start with the application process for the membership in the CoE, we shall treat this candidacy in accordance with the CoE procedures, told Danas, the Estonian Foreign ministry, answering the question what will be the attitude of that country towards Kosovo during the chairmanship of the CoE, which started last week.
