The only regional focus is Tartu Prison, which is used as a negative example of a national economic and political mistake. There is no emphasis on the regional policy needs of Tartu or Southern Estonia or on supporting regional development.

The regional focus is on Tartu Prison and the internal security situation in Southern Estonia. The necessity of deploying police officers to Southern Estonia to maintain order is emphasized, contrasting this need with the current situation of guarding Swedish prisoners in Tartu. Tartu tourist attractions (AHHAA, Aura) are also mentioned in relation to Swedish visitors.

The focus is on national social and healthcare policy issues, such as the subsistence level and national healthcare funding. An international focus is used for comparison (EU average, Finland, Germany) regarding standards and the quality of services.
