The delegation, led by the chairman of the Committee D. Kádner, and members J. Černochová, M. Sedlář and J. Skalický, accompanied by the secretary of the committee K. Svobodová was hosted by the National Defence Committee of Riigikogu. The ambassador of Czech Republic to Estonia R. Kadlčák participated in all the meetings as well.

Good relations and cooperation in the area of defence between the countries were emphasised during the meeting with the National Defence Committee. The chairman M. Raidma appreciated that the bilateral meetings between the parliaments are getting more frequent. A possibility of the Czech participation in NATO air policing mission in Baltic region was discussed profoundly and further cooperation between the Brno Defence University and Baltic Defence College was considered as a common interest.

The members of the Czech Parliament highly appreciated open discussions with the commander of the Estonian defence Forces Major General R. Terras and permanent secretary of the Ministry of Defence M. Marran. They visited the Ämari Airbase, Navy Base in Tallinn and former soviet nuclear submarine sailors’ training center in Paldiski still containing a nuclear waste (managed by AS Alara). They discussed environmental aspects related to the Soviet military objects with the chairman of the management board of the Environmental Investment Centre V. Kaufmann.

The delegation met with the members of the Estonian-Czech friendship group, chaired by T. Koiv and discussed an internal political situation in both countries among other topics.
