Estonian MPs pass bill on remains of Soviet soldiers in first reading

TALLINN. Nov 14 (Interfax-AVN) - The Estonian parliament has passed a bill on the protection of military structures in the first reading.

The bill allows regulation "of the protection of remains of people killed in combat actions in line with Estonia's international obligations," an explanatory note to the document says.

If the bill is passed it will provide for reburying remains "if military tombs are situated in places in which it is difficult to take care of them and which cannot be considered as a dignified final resting place."
