"President Toomas Ilves speaks on the future of NATO and European Security", The Baltic Times

Joseph Hammond (Washington D.C.)Europe is in need of a corpus callosum. That was one of the more colorful analogies used by Estonian President Toomas Ilves during his speech "The Future of NATO" given at the Atlantic Council, an American think tank in Washington, D.C.While calling NATO and the European Union "the two great successes of liberal democracy in the 20th century," the Estonian head of state called for increased communication and coordination between the European Union and NATO on common defense issues. Unfortunately for political reasons coordination between the two groups is impossible.
