Estonia’s readiness to accept people requesting international protection and to integrate them socially needs improvement

TALLINN, 19 January 2016 – The National Audit Office is of the opinion that the capability of the state and local governments to accept people who are requesting or have received international protection and to integrate them socially needs improvement. It is necessary to develop a long-term and systematic policy and action plan concerning people who need international protection, and to guarantee sufficient human and financial resources for its implementation.
