Amid cuts, fate of Estonian officials' group summer field trips yet undecided

This week, 200 Estonian civil servants are taking part in a group summer field trip, known as officials' fieldwork (ametnike välitööd), which this year is being held in the Western Estonian islands of Saaremaa and Muhu. The Ministry of Regional Affairs and Agriculture has yet to decide whether these trips will continue to be organized in the future or fall victim to general budget cuts.
