BC, Tallinn, 24.07.2015.Print version
Estonian Interior Minister Hanno Pevkur said on July 23rd that the 150 refugees Estonia will receive over two years will not be placed to live in one large house somewhere , but these people will be found apartments across Estonia, LETA/Delfi reports.

"There have been rumours that one of the big house will be erected in Pärnu, where the refugees will be settled, the same rumour is circulating about Tartu," the minister said at yesterday's government press conference. According to him, these rumours are not true because all these people will be housed in different places in Estonia.

 

Pevkur said that some of the refugees may end up in the same town, but not at the same address. Next, jobs are found for them and they are offered the same social protection as other people in need.

 

"If someone somewhere claims that he knows how the process is going to happen, then that person does not know what he's talking about," said the minister about the whole organization of the placement of refugees in Estonia. According to him, everything is still in the planning stage.

 

However, Estonia has a preliminary agreement with Italy, who will identify the individuals and deal with their initial health issues.
