On 25 July 2011, we sent a letter to a Royal Norwegian Embassy in Bratislava:
Ambassador of the Kingdom of Norway
Royal Norwegian Embassy in Bratislava, Slovakia
Bratislava, 25. 7. 2011
Your Excellency,
on behalf of the Institute for Public Affairs and in my own name let me express our deepest condolences to you and to Norwegian people, and especially to families of victims of massacre, committed by brutal and cold-blood murderer. No any justification – neither religious, nor ideological or political – exists for such criminal acts as happened few days ago in Oslo and Utoya. We condemn this murderous and coward act in the strongest possible way and express our deep persuasion that Norway and Norwegian people will come out from this uneasy situation even with highest commitment to openness, democracy and religious tolerance.
Grigorij Mesežnikov
president of the Institute for Public Affairs
