Tartu,28 April2025 Dear Presidents,

Thank you very much for your kind letter. My schedule over the coming weeks is rather full as I am attending several international conferences and meetings, but I may be able to find some time for a virtual meeting in June, if it would be suitable for you as well. In the meantime, may I kindly ask for a brief outline ofthe topics you would like to discuss, so I may better understand the purpose of the meeting.

I would also like to express my sincere gratitude for the kind invitation to participate at the European Law Institute Annual Conference, which is taking place on 22-24 September 2025 in Vienna. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend the Event as I already have prior commitments on the proposed dates, which could not be rearranged. I express my sincere regrets for not being able participate and wish you every success with the organisation of the Conference!

Please accept, dear Presidents, the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Villu Kõve Chief Justice Supreme Court of Estonia
