Lake Peipsi: Estonia's Unique Border Control Over Russian Fishing
Lake Peipsi, Europe's fourth-largest lake, sees a unique border arrangement between Estonia and Russia. Russian fishing vessels must seek Estonian permission to enter the lake, with only one vessel typically passing through daily.
The border between the two nations runs along the eastern bank of the Narva River, granting Estonia full control over its source. This situation persists due to an unratified border treaty. The Estonian border guard service oversees the permission process for Russian vessels.
Despite this arrangement, there are no known disputes between Estonia and Russia regarding their shared border. The process remains smooth, with just one Russian vessel navigating the border area daily.
The border anomaly continues until the treaty is ratified, with Estonia maintaining control over the Narva River's source. Russian fishing vessels must seek Estonian permission to enter Lake Peipsi, demonstrating a cooperative, if unusual, border management.
