The AIDS rate should
be a cause of some
concern, as should the
external debt. Note
that the kroon is
pegged to the euro. At

interested in
calculating what
nearby Lithuania
should pay to buy the
enclave of Kaliningrad
One conclusion was
Estonia had to use
solar energy to
strengthen their
financial situations,
both directly and
indirectly (to lower
unemployment,
especially in cities like
Tallinn) .
