Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas Steps Down to Take Up EU Foreign Policy Role

Kaja Kallas, the current Prime Minister of Estonia, has been nominated to serve as the European Union's next High Representative for Foreign Affairs. As part of this process, she will remain in office until a new government is sworn in. Kallas resigned from her position as Prime Minister on Monday, with President Alar Karis accepting her formal resignation during a meeting in Tallinn. The nomination comes as Kallas has expressed a desire to drive the EU's Russia policy, but some have raised concerns that she may lack vision on other issues.
