Estonia presents a diplomatic note to Russia
Republic of Estonia - Ministry of Foreign Affairs
20.03.2025
Today 20 March, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned a representative of the Russian embassy to present a diplomatic note in relation to last year's incident on the Narva River when Russia illegally removed border buoys.
The Estonian note states that we have made various proposals for constructive cooperation, which Russia has rejected. Estonia concludes that the parties are unable to come to an agreement on the 2024 incident. We emphasise that Estonia's territory is inviolable and the removal of buoys from Estonian waters is unacceptable; we are also reiterating our demand for the return of the stolen buoys.
In light of the upcoming navigation period, the note announces that Estonia considers it necessary to also install buoys this year. In line with current practices, the practical aspects of this issue are handled by border representatives. The note underlines that we would like to resolve the issue of installing the buoys in a constructive manner.
