According to Margelov, this would enable Russia to settle its border issues with the EU and to increase the volume of its cross-border commerce, writes LETA.

 

Though on a practical level the border functions relatively well, the process of signing an international border treaty between the countries has been on ice since 2005 when Russia backed out of ratifying the accord.

 

According to the Chairman of the Estonian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee Marko Mihkelson, a suggestion was also made that Estonia should have road map for improving its relations with Russia.
