The Estonian authorities do not plan to revoke the residence permit of Russian citizens legally residing in the country. This statement was made by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the republic, Kristjan Jaani, writes ERR.
The minister noted that “law-abiding people have nothing to fear” and emphasized that, according to Estonian law, “only those who have violated its conditions can annul or not renew a residence permit.”

The representative of the Conservative People’s Party of Estonia, Jaak Valge, said that the country would not discriminate against Russians, and the Center Party noted that the country’s authorities do not equate Russian citizens with Russian politicians.
