Strained relations

With an eye to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to Estonia the daily Postimees comments on the strained relations between Germany and Estonia: "Even if it is a highly inconvenient time to point this out: [Germany's] ex-chancellor Gerhard Schröder was not always an outcast in Estonia. When he replaced [Helmut] Kohl in 1998 many things became easier for Estonia because the sauna meetings with [Russian President Boris] Yeltsin came to an end. The Estonians were at last granted visa exemption and the German government's move to Berlin reinforced hopes that Germany would give relations with the East greater priority. We know only too well what actually came to pass: the great friendship with [Yeltsin's successor Vladimir] Putin and finally the agreement for the construction of a gas pipeline running under the Baltic. When Angela Merkel comes to Estonia today she will at least receive a warmer welcome than her predecessor. Let us hope that she does not succumb to the temptations of populism and that she listens to what Estonian politicians have to say, not least on the subject of Georgia."
