Finland's Minister of the Interior Kari Rajamäki noted on Thursday that Estonia's border controls correpond to European border security thinking. The European Union is to decide in December on the location of the EU’s Department of Border Control, and Estonia has put its name forward as a possible host country. Competing with Estonia for the post are Poland, Hungary, and Malta.
Rajamäki visited Estonia’s border with Russia on Thursday assessing the situation there. He noted that Estonia is one of three applicant countries whose border controls correspond to European border security thinking.
"However, it would seem that only Poland and Hungary are in the final stretch", Rajamäki said on Thursday evening.
Estonia’s Interior Minister Margus Leivo said that Estonia is still a strong candidate.
Leivo noted that Finland is seeking the post of head of the Department of Border Control, and that it is unlikely that the post will be granted to a country in the same region as the country where the actual office is located.
