Today, 21 years ago, Estonia became a member of the European Union. This historic event changed the lives of all Estonians, giving us security and economic freedom to travel, study and work across the EU. Since joining the European Union, Estonia has proven to be a reliable partner, sharing core EU principles and has a say in the big decisions that affect Estonia, Europe and the world.
Estonia's success within the EU is multifaceted; encompassing rapid economic growth, successful adoption of the euro, and integration into the Schengen area. These achievements are rooted in Estonia's strong commitment to a free market economy, efficient bureaucracy, and embrace of digitalisation.
