The Ministry of justice of Estonia has explained why the Commission's analysis of the damage from "the Soviet occupation" will continue its work, despite the position of the head of Ministry of foreign Affairs Sven Mikser. the head of the Council, historian Toomas Hiio believes that Tallinn could not abandon the study of the damage and claims for compensation. "international law gives us the opportunity to present claims for compensation for losses related to the occupation, and in the past it took a few countries. The Soviet Union occupied Estonia in 1940, and the occupation authorities responsible for the occupation. Waiver of damages may be considered as a recognition of the voluntary joining the Soviet Union"
