TALLINN - Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves signed on Nov. 30 a resolution announcing elections of the 11th parliament on March 4, 2007, the president's office reports.
In a statement on the public Eesti Televisioon before announcing the elections president said that he is making the announcement in a situation where the actions of both governing coalition and opposition parties increasingly exude temporizing indecision and conflict. A situation has arisen where party gains have started smothering national interests, he added.
Voters will actually have to make a "very simple decision" in spring, Ilves said.
