Particularly hostile to the Kremlin's policy in Ukraine, the Party of Reform Taavi Roivas gets 30 of the 101 seats in parliament. The youngest European leader, aged 35, will have to create a new coalition if he wants to remain in government. Its social-democratic allies indeed drop 15 positions of deputies, enough to get the majority.
Came second, the Centre Party (pro-Russian) is unlikely to join the government. Its leader, the mayor of Tallinn Edgar Savisaar, in 2004 signed a cooperation agreement with United Russia (Putin's party). Savisaar is also suspected of embezzling public funds, which he denies.
In the former Soviet republic, the powerful Russian neighbor is an extremely sensitive issue. A subject that could allow the current head of government to obtain a new mandate.
