POLLS have opened in Estonia in a general election overshadowed by security concerns sparked by Russia's involvement in Ukraine.
THE conflict in Ukraine has stirred anxiety in the former Soviet republic, with national security issues having dominated the election campaign.
The small Baltic nation, a member of both NATO and the European Union, borders Russia and has an uneasy relationship with Moscow.The country is also home to a Russian-speaking minority that makes up 25 per cent of the population of 1.3 million.However, there is no openly pro-Russian party in Estonia, in contrast to the situation in Latvia, Estonia's southern neighbour.The pro-market Reform Party of Prime Minister Taavi Roivas has led in the opinion polls published in the run-up to the vote.It won 28 per cent or 33 seats in the 101-member parliament in the last election in 2010.Roivas' main opponent is Edgar Savisaar, the 64-year-old mayor of Tallinn and head of the leftist Centre Party.The election commission said preliminary results will be published after polls close on Sunday (0600 AEDT Monday).Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
