National security and defence

Are we prepared to protect our country if we are attacked?
Security is the result of actions of the government and the society. The aim of Estonia’s security policy is to prevent and counter threats, and, if necessary, respond quickly and flexibly. Estonia will defend itself in any case and against any opponent. If the state was to temporarily lose control over part of its territory, Estonian citizens are ready to put up organised resistance in the area.

Everyone can participate fully in society, work, fulfil oneself and be economically active. Social groups respect each other, act friendly and feel safe as a result.
