koalitsiooninõukogu

Koalitsiooninõukogu, or Coalition Council, is a term used in Estonian politics to refer to the consultative body formed by the parties that are part of a government coalition. Its primary function is to facilitate decision-making and coordination among the coalition partners. The council typically comprises leaders of the coalition parties and key ministers.

The Koalitsiooninõukogu meets regularly to discuss significant political issues, policy proposals, and potential legislation before they are brought before the cabinet or parliament. It serves as a platform for resolving disagreements and ensuring a unified approach to governance. The discussions within the Koalitsiooninõukogu are crucial for maintaining the stability and cohesion of the coalition government.

The specific composition, frequency of meetings, and scope of authority of the Koalitsiooninõukogu can vary depending on the particular coalition agreement and the political landscape at the time. However, its underlying purpose remains consistent: to provide a forum for strategic discussion and consensus-building among the governing parties. This mechanism helps to streamline the legislative process and ensures that government actions reflect the agreed-upon objectives of the coalition.
