Marek Mutor Your Ref: 11.03.2026 Platform of European Memory and Conscience Our Ref: 24.04.2026 No 7-2/1871 [email protected] Re: Pan-European Memorial for the Victims of Totalitarianism in Brussels Dear Mr Mutor, Thank you for your letter and for the update on the progress of the Pan-European Memorial for the Victims of Totalitarianism planned for the Esplanade Solidarność in Brussels. The work of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience in advancing this important initiative, which honours the memory of the victims of totalitarian regimes and strengthens Europe’s shared commitment to historical truth and democratic values, is highly appreciated. Estonia recognises the symbolic and moral significance of this memorial as a pan-European place of remembrance. I can therefore inform you that Estonia has decided to support the initial phase of the project. In this context, Estonia will contribute 50,000 euros to the activities related to the preparation, submission, and processing of the building permit application and other necessary authorisations, as well as the associated technical and administrative procedures required at this stage. This contribution constitutes a one-off financial support specifically allocated to the project’s initial preparatory phase. I welcome the constructive cooperation established with the relevant city and regional stakeholders and appreciate the careful preparatory work currently underway. I remain interested in following the progress of the initiative as it advances through the permitting stage. Please accept my assurance of Estonia’s respect for this meaningful European memorial initiative. Yours sincerely, Liisa-Ly Pakosta Minister Suur-Ameerika 1/ 10122 Tallinn / ESTONIA/ +372 620 8100 / [email protected] / www.justdigi.ee Reg.no 70000898 Klen Teder +372 53094460 [email protected] Copy to Platform of European Memory and Conscience
