President of the Riigikogu (Parliament of Estonia) Eiki Nestor attends the Conference of Speakers of the EU Parliaments in Luxembourg. On Tuesday, he will make a speech about ensuring the security of citizens.

The conference is divided into four sessions, and Eiki Nestor is one of the two keynote speakers at the session “Ensuring the Security of Citizens while Respecting Fundamental Freedoms”, which is held on Tuesday, 24 May.

“The importance of the European Conference of Speakers lies in the fact that it makes the politicians of different countries listen to each other, brings them closer and creates preconditions for better mutual understanding,” Nestor said. “When we look at the migration and security challenges we face, it is clear that unanimous Europe is several times more capable to resolve such problems.”

On Monday, 23 May the Conference discusses the managing of migration flows and strengthening the European Union, and on Tuesday, the role of national parliaments and interparliamentary cooperation will be spoken about, in addition to security of citizens.

On Monday President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker will give a speech on migration.
