On behalf of me and the Supreme Court of Estonia I would also like to congratulate you on the 30th anniversary of the Baltic Way - a remarkable and symbolic event, which united our aspirations for freedom and democracy. Our countries share a similar path in history and the 30th anniversary of the Baltic Way is an excellent reminder of highly valued co-operation between the three Baltic States. Within this co-operation we cannot underestimate the importance of Constitutional Courts in transforming and building the society we live in today. I am looking forward to our Trilateral Meeting of the Baltic Constitutional Courts on the 1't and 2nd of October in Riga. This meeting provides us the opportunity to celebrate the historic event and enables us to strengthen ties between our Courts. Please accept, President Ziemele, the assurances of my highest consideration. Yours sincerely, Villu Kõve Chief Justice Supreme Court of Estonia l7 Lossi St, 50093 Tartu, ESTONIA.
