In connection with today announced decision of the President of the Republic of Latvia Vaira Vike-Freiberga to accept the invitation of Vladimir Putin to participate in the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union in World War II on May 9 in Moscow, the President of the Republic Arnold Rüütel said:
"The Baltic states are sovereign states and we have to respect the decision of the Head of Latvian state. As the Head of Estonian state, I have not yet made a final decision on possible visit to Moscow in May. Estonia will form her final decision in this matter at a later date."
