The necessity for broader parliamentary support and multi-party consultations is stressed (e.g., through commissions, participating political parties, and partners from Latvia, Lithuania, and various other governments). Concurrently, clear alternative proposals are presented, followed by cooperation with the relevant parties. While the coalition and the prevailing parliamentary mindset are frequently criticized, there are nonetheless emerging calls for joint proposals and a desire to reach consensus-driven, specific solutions.

The text indicates a desire for broader, bipartisan cooperation (e.g., the Riigikogu's high-level committee, expanded debate, and the inclusion of allies' viewpoints). Simultaneously, the plans face strong opposition from the coalition, yet there is also a call for cooperation among all parliamentary factions (whether involving the coalition or not). Nevertheless, certain interruptions and criticisms suggest that cooperation remains complicated and requires further action, though the direct intent to make room for wider discussion and expert involvement has been clearly expressed.
