Estonia has reached an extraordinary milestone by becoming a country that digitalises 100% of its government services. As of December 2024, every service—even filing for divorce—can now be completed online, marking a new era in citizen-centric governance. This achievement positions Estonia as a global leader in digital governance and sets a benchmark for nations worldwide.

A report by Tallinn’s Internal Audit Service titled “Analysis and Recommendations for Winter Street Maintenance Management” reveals that the previous city administration set unrealistic goals for snow removal and failed to monitor contractors’ compliance with contract terms. The renewed city government and leadership of the Urban Environment and Public Works Department have conducted analyses to improve the situation, which are reflected in the audit, and have developed new measures to enhance winter maintenance quality and transparency. Efforts to improve oversight and snow removal quality are ongoing.

This year, Tallinn will once again welcome the New Year with a concert and light show, skipping fireworks. On the night of December 31 and into the early hours of January 1, public transport on the city's main routes will run later to help everyone get home safely and comfortably.
