Kristiina Ojuland (born 17 December 1966 in Kohtla-Järve) was the foreign minister of Estonia from 2002 through 2004. In June 2004 she ran for the post of secretary-general of the Council of Europe, but was defeated, receiving only 51 of 299 votes. She is a member of the Estonian Reform Party. On 11 February 2005 she was fired as foreign minister by Arnold Rüütel for what he says was the disappearance of 100 secret documents. Ojuland has said the files disappeared before she took the post.
