According to ERR, Reinsalu called the liberation of Estonia by the Soviet army from occupation during World War II as "re-occupation."
"And that is why I am extremely skeptical that we should consider this visit at the level of the head of state, if this invitation comes ... In the end, this decision should be made by the president, but I would be very careful about this" - he declared.
In July, Reinsalu called the "provocative step" Russia's decision to stage a salute on September 22 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Tallinn by Soviet troops from Nazi invaders.
On April 18, the President of Estonia visited Moscow. Kaljulaid said that Tallinn is ready for dialogue with Moscow.
As Russian leader Vladimir Putin emphasized during the negotiations, the parties have common interests related to the Baltic region.
