TALLINN URGED TO EXTEND RESIDENCE PERMIT DEADLINE.

Estonia’s director of the citizenship and migration department urged the government to push back the July 12 deadline by which non-citizens must register for residence permits. Only half of the country’s 400,000 non-citizens have registered so far, Andres Kollis said. But the Estonian prime minister Tiit Vahi said he was reluctant to make any change, BNS reported May 31.
