Quotes

Minister of the Interior Igor Taro ... warned that the project may never be fully completed due to challenges that continue to arise.

"There will always be new circumstances, be they technical or security-related, that require new solutions," said Taro.

"If we just look at illegal border crossings, hybrid attacks, smuggling and different military threats, then all of these dimensions must be considered."

Taro said the urgency of the border project had grown after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

"These are technical, tactical but also political issues. It is unlikely the border will ever be considered a completed project."

Taro confirmed discussing possible changes to Estonia's Weapons Act to simplify obtaining a weapons permit.
