- Continuing preparations for opening new Burger King restaurants in 2021. In the second half of the year altogether six new restaurants are planned to be opened in Latvia and Lithuania.

Management expects the passenger traffic between Estonia and Finland to recover rapidly after the restrictions and authorities' advice against travelling have been lifted.
