Estonia's Experiences Prior to and Since Integration into the EU

On April 25, Her Excellency, Marina Kaljurand, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Estonia to the United States, visited the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and delivered a talk entitled "Estonia's Experiences Prior to and Since Integration into the EU."

The talk was followed later that evening by a screening of the documentary, The Singing Revolution, itself followed by a panel discussion by Jim Tusty, producer of the film, and Carol Leff, professor of political science at UIUC. You can watch Ambassador Kaljurand's full talk below or by clicking here.
