No.: 23/2014
Date: 29.9.2014
Mr. José Manuel Barroso
President of the
European Commission
We wish to inform you, that we held a meeting of the International Committee of Deportees and Refugees, victims of Nazism and Fascism during 1920---1945, on the 19th and 20th September 2014.
At this meeting of 11 societies and organisations from various European countries (Slovenia, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Estonia, Austria, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina), we also decided upon preparing a public letter addressed to the presidents of European countries and leaders of the European Union. The delegation leaders who were at the meeting signed this letter.
We are enclosing the letter in the annex with the hope that you read it and give us your opinion with regard to our proposals and initiatives.
Your answer will be addressed at the next meeting of the International Committee of Deportees and Refugees, victims of Nazism and Fascism during 1920---1945, which will take place on the 16th and 17th May 2015 in Prague, the Czech Republic.
We thank you in advance for your reply and respectfully send you our kind regards,
Ivica Žnidaršič, prof.
President of the International Committee
