The Estonian government has nominated Siim Kallas to serve a second term as a European commissioner.
One of the two parties in the minority government, the Pro Patria/Res Publica party, had been opposed to the re-selection of Kallas as the country's commissioner. However, it withdrew its objection after talks with the other governing party, the Reform Party, of which Kallas, a former prime minister, and the current prime minister, Andrus Ansip, are members.
Kallas, currently a vice-president responsible for audit, administration and anti-fraud, is the first official nomination since José Manuel Barroso was confirmed for a second term as president of the European Commission in a vote by members of the European Parliament yesterday.

This is typical of Estonian politics. The next thing on the cards is to see Kallas as the next President of Estonia. Mark my words-it might actually come to pass! Dan Brown; eat your heart out, 'cause your latest novel is forcing Kallas archetypes out of the woodwork.
