Dear Minister Ligi,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your participation in the Eastern Border

Regions High-Level Conference on 25 and 26 June 2025 in Bialowieza, Poland. It was a

pleasure meeting you there and exchanging in person on the multiple challenges which the

EU’s Eastern border regions and countries are facing.

I listened very carefully to your valuable and constructive contributions to the debate on

socio-economic and security challenges by EU’s Eastern border regions and the possible

solutions which you have proposed. I very much retain your suggestions for the

development of the Pact for the Eastern Border Regions which I proposed during the

conference.

I am convinced that we can achieve our common goals for the EU’s Eastern border regions

only if we continue our excellent collaboration. In this vein, I am already looking forward

to your substantial support and contribution to making the Pact for the Eastern Border

Regions a success for your regions and for Europe.

Yours sincerely,

Raffaele FITTO

Jürgen Ligi

Minister of Finance
