Estonia's Ministry of Interior has put forward a proposal to indefinitely extend the nighttime closure of three border checkpoints with Russia. Under the proposal, the checkpoints would remain closed during the night, restricting their operating hours. The current restrictions were set as a temporary measure, but the ministry now aims to make them permanent to enhance border security and mitigate potential risks. The exact timeline for the decision is not yet specified, but the new regulation is expected to take effect after government approval.
