On September 22, the Prime Minister of Sweden, Stefan Löfven, and the Prime Minister of Estonia, Jüri Ratas, met for a working dinner at the Sagerska Palace. Also present at the meeting were Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu and Chief of Staff Johannes Merilai, as well as two advisers, Mart Luik and Veikko Kala.
The Swedish side also participated the Prime Minister, Secretary of State Paula Carvalho Olovsson, Maja Brännvall (political expert in Government Offices), Daniel Wolvén and Chancellor Gustaf Lindgren.
The issue of Estonia and new tasks were on the agenda, along with issues of covid-19 cooperation, regional security and more, as Prime Minister Ratas had said he wanted to address it.
During the meeting, the Estonian Prime Minister raised the issue of new information that has emerged about helmet damage. In the memoirs that DN requested from the meeting, important parts have been crossed out and made illegible. Among other things, a two-page summary in English that the Swedish page had prepared as a basis for the discussion.
Rats stated during the meeting with Löfven that the subject is still “loaded” in Estonia and that the new documentary would certainly create a new awareness of the event. Rats proposed that Estonia and Sweden should maintain continuous contact on the issue, something that Prime Minister Stefan Löfven also considered.
The two A4 pages that have been covered in confidence begin with the title “Discussion paper…”, the end of which has also been covered in confidence.
The only thing that can be read is the introduction entitled “Background” and which in Swedish says:
“Discovery Network has produced a documentary series on MS Estonia, which will air on Discovery Nordic TV Network at the end of September.”
Stefan Löfven Press Secretary Gösta Brunnander tells DN that Government Offices had received a request from Discovery to view and participate in the documentary.
– They asked us but we said no, says Gösta Brunnander.
However, the Estonian Government Office had read the documentary.
