Another Side to the Euro Coin Map Dispute
While the Setos complain that half of their ancestral homeland was left off the map on the euro coin, a lawyer claiming to be Russia's ombudsman in Estonia made a claim that the impress includes the Russian-controlled areas, prompting a statement from the Russian Embassy.
The embassy disagreed with the lawyer, Sergei Seredenko, and said on its website that Estonia's euro coins do indeed depict the country's territory in its actual borders. But it used the occasion to say that Estonia continues to make attempts to subject the border to review.
