Ambassador Vollebaek will also travel to Narva where the Russian minority in Estonia is geographically concentrated. In Narva, the High Commissioner will visit a teacher training college that prepares future teachers for schools with Russian-language teaching. He is also scheduled to meet with representatives of ethnic cultural associations and organisations of national minorities there.
