The currently conducted poll shows that the public support concerning NATO integration is growing continuously. 69% of the population of Estonia are for/rather for Estonia’s joining the Alliance. In February the support extended to 63%.
The corresponding numbers among the Estonian citizens in June were 71% and in February 67%.
Special attention should be given to the fact that the support among the non-Estonians has grown considerably. When in February 39% of the non-Estonians supported the joining process, then in June the support grew up to 52%.
One of the reasons for the continuously growing support is the good level of providing corresponding information to the public. When last year 32% of the respondents considered themselves to be well informed, then the latest results show that 52% of the respondents think they are well informed of NATO-related topics.
Continuously the two most relevant factors in Estonian security are considered to be joining the Alliance (52%) and co-operation as well as good neighbourly relations with Russia (45%).
The Estonian Defence Forces are continuously among the most trustworthy state institutions occupying the forth place after the President, Border Guard and Estonian Bank.
