The first seven civil defense shelters in the Northeastern Estonian border city of Narva were marked with signs bearing the international civil defense sign a blue triangle on an orange background on Thursday, beginning with a municipal administrative building located at Kerese 20.
On Tuesday afternoon, Prime Minister Kaja Kallas (Reform) met with members of Narva City Council at Stenbock House in Tallinn. Following their meeting, the city council members will decide whether or not to take the Estonian state to court over the removal of the Soviet "Tank T-34" monument from the northeastern border city in mid-August.
After several years and now fresh on the heels of the removal of seven Soviet monuments in the city and surrounding areas, the City of Narva is making a fresh attempt at renaming city streets named after Estonian leaders of a Soviet puppet state to claim control over the city more than a century ago.
The first full day following the removal of a controversial tank monument from the eastern city of Narva passed peaceably, the Police and Border Guard Board (PPA) told ERR.
Sessions at Narva council chambers which were held this week regarding the removal of the controversial tank monument were mostly conducted in the Russian-language rather than in Estonian, a situation which baffles Ilmar Tomusk, Director General of the Estonian Language Inspectorate (Keeleinspektsioon).
