Dear Colleague,

Tallinn, 19 of October 2026 No 3-8/26-157/1

I would like to inform you that I will be moving on from my role as Chair of the European Union Affairs Committee to take up the position of Chair of the National Defense Committee of the Riigikogu.

It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside colleagues from across Europe and to contribute to our common parliamentary work. I am grateflul for the many discussions, exchanges and opportunities for cooperation.

I am taking on this new role at a particularly important moment for Europe. The war against Ukraine, alongside growing hybrid threats, cyberattacks, foreign influence and other challenges to our democratic societies, reminds us that the security of our countries and of the European Union is deeply interconnected.

These circumstances require determination, close cooperation and a strong sense of European solidarity. My work in European affairs, and particularly our exchanges within COSAC, has strengthened my conviction that our national parliaments have an important role to play in building Europe’s resilience and ensuring that the Union has the capacity to protect its citizens, democratic institutions and fundamental values.

As I take on this new responsibility, I look forward to continuing to contribute to our shared European security and resilience in a different capacity.

Thank you for your cooperation and the many valuable exchanges over the years. I wish you every success as you continue working for our countries and for a strong, secure and united Europe.

Mr. Arber Ademi Chairman of the Committee on European Affairs Sobranie

Dear Colleague,

Tallinn, 1gth of October 2026 No 3-8/26-157/1

I would like to inform you that I will be moving on from my role as Chair of the European Union Affairs Committee to take up the position of Chair of the National Defense Committee of the Riigikogu.

It has been both a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside colleagues from across Europe and to contribute to our common parliamentary work. I am grateful for the many discussions, exchanges and opportunities for cooperation.

I am taking on this new role at a particularly important moment for Europe. The war against Ukraine, alongside growing hybrid threats, cyberattacks, foreign influence and other challenges to our democratic societies, reminds us that the security of our countries and of the European Union is deeply interconnected.

These circumstances require determination, close cooperation and a strong sense of European solidarity. My work in European affairs, and particularly our exchanges within COSAC, has strengthened my conviction that our national parliaments have an important role to play in building Europe’s resilience and ensuring that the Union has the capacity to protect its citizens, democratic institutions and fundamental values.

As I take on this new responsibility, I look forward to continuing to contribute to our shared European security and resilience in a different capacity.

Thank you for your cooperation and the many valuable exchanges over the years. I wish you every success as you continue working for our countries and for a strong, secure and united Europe.
