Estonia, which adopts the euro on January 1, is likely to be the last new entrant to the currency zone for some years as bigger eastern European states such as Poland and the Czech Republic watch the bloc's crisis warily.
For the Baltic state of 1.3 million, being in the euro zone club is preferable to uncertainty linked to its outgoing kroon currency and is seen as a way to attract further investment.
Adopting the euro is also the culmination of Estonia's move westwards away from the dominance of mighty neighbour and former ruler Russia after entering the European Union and NATO in 2004.
Ordinary Estonians are also hoping for the smaller benefits of saving money on currency transactions.

You write with the same ambiguity that has made Maxim de la Trine famous.
You and Peter the holocaust-denier both waste a lot of ink. You warn us about an impending danger, without being able to specify what it is.
You two pretend to be men of vision in the Kingdom of the Blind. It's a pity that you're both dumb (in both senses of the term).

If as you say Ilves is a mere figurehead, then he should keep his mouth shut and should not be cheerleading for the permanent subjugation of the Estonian people to the international bankers' agenda. But then again, who does the CIA report to anyway?
This subject has been turned on its head during the past six months. Go back and read all the previous threads rather than presuming that it is better to re-invent the wheel.
