Some really pointless press release in my opinion. So basically what they are saying that the idea to organize Dirtfish Rally wasn't because they saw an opportunity for WRC event but as the FIA is looking for organizers who could potentially do it, then they will give their best to make it happen.
In recent days, there have been various speculations in the media as if Rally DirtFish were to become the stage of the FIA World Rally Championship.
These speculations are not true here, Rally DirtFish has not claimed such status and did not intend to become the stage of the current season of the FIA World Rally Championship.
The idea of organizing Rally DirtFish was born with the desire to continue the tradition of organizing top-level competitions in Estonia, to create attractive conditions suitable for WRC teams for development and training activities, and to bring world-class motorsport home to Estonian rally fans.
Both the International Motorsport Federation and the national federations and rally organizers are looking for ways and means to continue organizing the season, taking into account the current restrictions and precautions arising from COVID-19.
In connection with this, a situation has arisen where Estonia is considered to be one of the possible venues for the WRC stage. The local motorsport community is working to make this plan a reality. Both Rally DirtFish and the Estonian Motorsport Association (EAL) fully support the idea and initiative to bring the official World Cup stage to the homeland of the reigning world rally champion Ott Tänak.

A bit weird statement to me even talking about** bringing (or not) the WRC to Estonia.
Rally DF organiser is Estonian Autosport Union, who said some months ago, that WRC event isn't and can't be a priority to them, because there are also other disciplines in autosport.
It was said, when they were arguong with Rally Estonia organisers (Aava & co), who has done everything to get the WRC event to Estonia.. And now RE not doing the event, the EAU is now talking about the Big event..
Doing the WRC round now would mean, that it will be in FIA calendar and tge organiser(EAU) would have to pay the 100k fee.. to themselves which is the reason they got into an argument with Aava & co at first place (as it is fed to public/people).
To me, it would be the best to stop the 2020 WRC season and not to make halfass event in Estonia.

Why`s that? At the moment, no-one complains if you don`t have the spectators, on the contrary. With those restrictions it`s already much easier (given they have the money), proovide the itinireray, SP, accomodations for the teams, rescue service and maybe some broadcasting. There are ohter things in addition ofc, but...

No, as i understand
The next few days will be full of suspense, since the official WRC calendar is about to be released! We are glad to announce, that Rally Estonia and Estonian Autosport Union will continue to cooperate for the official WRC event to be held in Estonia!
"WRC promoter has made an offer to Rally Estonia to organise an official WRC - FIA World Rally Championship event in Estonia in 2020. We have submitted several necessary documents to different institutions and are currently waiting for the responses. When we have finished these arrangements, we can continue the discussion with FIA and WRC promoter:" said Urmo Aava, the director of Rally Estonia.
Our greatest dream has never been closer, but we still have a lot of work to do. We can promise you one thing - we will do everything in our power to make history and bring an official WRC event to Estonia!#8 Ott Tänak - Martin Järveoja #8
