I was just mentioned by some friends that I have during last time totally forgot my English blog. Unfortunately this is true – and not good. So I try to do my best to change the situation. Main reason for the silence has been very busy times connected with preparation of Estonian negative suplementary budget, which was passed in Estonia at the end of February. Estonia decided to cut its budget by 10% not waiting time, when the cuts are made by IMF. Estonian goal os to prepare itself to eurozone, which can become possible in next year – when Estonia ofcourse can keep its budget under Maastricht criteria. Estonia is not asking any special conditions or privileges, we know that without good homework we can not become members of eurozone. So our future lies largely in our own hands.

Good for Estonia on cutting the budget!
The European Union is a disaster waiting to happen. Vaclav Klaus recently commented that it will just be something like the old Soviet Union–good for him.
