By Plenary Sessions: Rain Epler

The focus is primarily on international topics (the energy policies of the US, UK, China, and Germany) and the national level (government criticism and border control). Regional focus is minimal, with the exception of a brief reference to Võro matters and the mention of local elections.

There is no regional focus; instead, the focus is on national draft legislation that affects all Estonian residents and businesses. Reference is also made to European Union funding (3.5 million), which was the impetus for rushing the bill.

The speaker mentions their previous involvement with the Southeast Estonia region, referencing conversations held there prior to the 2019 elections. The current focus, however, is on national and international issues (diplomacy, ministerial responsibility).

South-East Estonia is brought up in relation to the historical context of building the border fence, as well as local residents' concerns about the visibility of the border installations. The primary emphasis, however, remains on the actions taken by the Ministry of Defence and the government at the national level.

The focus is on national defense and financial management issues, as well as international communication (with Ukrainians). Regional or local topics are absent.

The focus is broad, encompassing Europe's geopolitical position, the future of its economy, and its energy dependence on imports. Estonia is discussed within the European context, highlighting the necessity of making sensible decisions here in Estonia before "old, big, and slow Europe" finally catches on. Specific local or regional projects are not mentioned, but the goal of restoring Estonia's status as an electricity exporter is strongly emphasized.

The primary focus is on national and international issues (EU regulation, Rail Baltic), but specific regional problems are also highlighted. Separate attention is dedicated to the security and social challenges facing the border regions of Southeast Estonia, as well as the restoration of local rail links (Pärnu, Haapsalu) as a counterpoint to Rail Baltic.
