Kersti Kaljulaid
Tallinn - Arab Today
The Estonian parliament elected the country's first female head of state.
Kersti Kaljulaid, 46-year-old, a former member of the European Court of Auditors with no party affiliation, is the first woman to hold the position.
She was the only candidate, proposed by a "council of elders" in the parliament after MPs failed to agree in September.
She succeeds Toomas Hendrik Ilves for a five-year mandate in the post.
