Decision:
The government, including the Ministry of Justice, has been given the go-ahead to hold preliminary consultations with various countries (with a focus on the Netherlands and Sweden) with the aim of clarifying the details of a rental possibility, its viability, and its impact on Estonia's economy and security. This decision is aimed at gathering initial information and does not constitute a commitment to implement the project. The minister also emphasized that if a possible agreement is reached, it must include red lines: it must not release detentions, must ensure humane treatment, and must comply with the Estonian Constitution and international requirements. Furthermore, it was stressed that when drafting the parties to the agreement, account will be taken of the grounds for penalty agreements and also the differences in foreign countries' legal norms will be encapsulated.
