Estonia’s president said Prime Minister Kaja Kallas should have resigned over revelations last month that her husband’s company had business activity in Russia.
The comments from President Alar Karis, short of an outright demand that Kallas step down, were unusual for the Baltic nation’s head of state, who holds a largely ceremonial, non-partisan role. It may add pressure on Kallas, who said last week that she has no plans to quit.
