Estonian President Thomas Hendrik Ilves called for an end to “using the memory of war victims for political purposes.” “The story of the Bronze Soldier is over. The bronze soldier and the remains buried next to him will find a new worthy place in the cemetery. Now is the time to stop using the memory of war victims for political or other unacceptable purposes,” the Estonian President said in a statement. Meanwhile, the European Union is sending a delegation to Moscow to sort out the situation around the Estonian consulate.
