As stated in the new constitution, the President has, in addition to symbolic functions, representational tasks and formal domestic duties, as well as a string of rights and obligations that afford him the independent right to speak in political life.
Uue põhiseaduse kohaselt on Vabariigi Presidendil lisaks sümboolsetele funktsioonidele, esindusülesannetele ning formaalsetele siseriiklikele kohustustele rida õigusi ja kohustusi, mis annavad talle poliitilises elus iseseisva sõnaõiguse.
