Dear Karin,
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you and to all your colleagues for the wonderful organisation of our visit to Estonia. From the very beginning, we felt how much care, warmth and thoughtfulness you had put into every detail of our programme.
The visit gave our delegation a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences and to learn more not only about the work of the Supreme Court of Estonia, but also about other important state and judicial institutions. Every meeting and every conversation was truly meaningful to us.
But, above all, we will remember the people we met in Estonia — their openness, kindness, genuine interest and warm friendship towards Ukraine. We felt a very special connection with our Estonian colleagues, and I would like you to know how deeply we appreciated this. Please convey our warmest greetings and gratitude to everyone who welcomed us and made us feel so at home in Estonia.
Please also find attached a letter from Acting Chairman of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, Mr Oleksandr Petryshyn, addressed to Chief Justice Villu Kõve.
Dear Karin, thank you once again for everything you did to make our visit so special and memorable. We are taking home not only many valuable professional impressions, but also very warm feelings and wonderful memories of Estonia and its people.
We sincerely hope that our cooperation and friendship will continue to grow, and that one day we will have the great pleasure of welcoming you and our Estonian friends to Ukraine.
With heartfelt thanks and warmest regards,
Iryna
