Asko Kivinuk, head of the Government Office's monuments working group, said on the "Vikerhommik" morning radio show that Estonia has already mapped out 265 Soviet monuments, instead of the initial figure of 130, and that it could grow to over 300.
Architects and artists' unions are calling for the government to release the names of people sitting on its Soviet monument committee and their protocols and decisions to increase transparency in the process.
A Government Office committee tasked with removing Soviet-era monuments has been criticized for its lack of transparency. Experts believe the process must be made as clear to the public as possible.
