Dmitry Medvedev stressed that Russia is in favour of the normalization of relations with Estonia and finding real solutions to existing problems in the countries' bilateral relations. According to the Russian head of state, one such step would be to address the issue of a border treaty, because the absence of this document affects the entire range of Russian-Estonian relations.
The President of Estonia was in Khanty-Mansiisk to take part in the international festival of Finno-Ugric peoples.
