In EDM, Vladimir Socor writes about how PACE chairman Rene van der Linden is
bending to the Kremlin wind against Estonia. He also voices concern about PACE's future:
Van der Linden’s statements have demonstrated strong bias, ahead of his visit next month to Estonia on Russian minority-related issues. Van der Linden completes his chairmanship at PACE next January. A Russian politician with close Kremlin ties, Mikhail Margelov, seems strongly positioned to take over PACE’s chairmanship through a backroom deal. A vote by PACE for Margelov would be a vote against PACE’s own credibility.
