| | Savisaar: no plans to buy Estonian Railway |
| | He said the government was hoping the disputed issues could be settled through negotiation and that a compromise confirming Estonian Railway’s business could be reached. | | | Nevertheless, Savisaar, who is now acting prime minister, did not rule out the possibility that the state would consider taking part of the company back if Baltic Rail Services refuses to meet its obligations. | | | Tensions around Estonian Railway heated up in June when Savisaar said the state would consider buying back the infrastructure from the privately controlled company, while the CEO Edward Burkhardt accused the minister of deliberately undermining the enterprise’s operations with the intention to regain control. |
