Estonia is considering strengthening its military presence on a strategically crucial east border by creating a fresh military base in Narva. This is the 3rd largest city of the country, located just off the border with Russia and mostly inhabited by the Russian-speaking population, to become the site of both Estonian soldiers and NATO's allied forces within the rotation system. This plan has already been initially discussed at political level, and the search for a suitable location in the city centre is presently underway.
