Tirana, 18 February 2005

Dear Mr. Ombudsman

It is my honour and my pleasure to congratulate you for having been re-elected to your post of Ombudsman in Albania and I wish you every success in the continuation of your task.

As I had not the opportunity to meet with you since I took my position almost one year ago, I would most welcome such a prospect and I should be pleased to accept a forthcoming meeting at your best convenience.

Yours faithfully,

Guy-Michel BRANDTNER

The Special Adviser in Albania
