Dear Mr. Põiklik,

Thank you very much for your message and positive answer; we truly 
appreciate it.

Our programme is still in preparation, we are waiting for confirmations of 
some meetings. At this point, 16 and 18 March in the morning seem quite fine 
for a meeting, we leave it to you to decide and we will adjust.

As for the working language, it will be English, since the precondition for 
participation in our media trips programme is fluency in English. But, if 
necessary, we can arrange an interpreter from Estonian to Serbian, just 
please let us know in advance.

In addition, all will be professional journalists. The group will be 
accompanied by me and my colleague Miona Milošević. The total number of 
participants is 13; we will have the list of participants by next Monday 
(including passport numbers, for the case they are needed for 
security/entrance procedure).

Since we will have cameramen in the group (tv stations will have journalist 
plus a cameraman), could you please let me know if the filming be allowed? 
It would be useful if they can shoot at least a blind shoots, for 
illustration of the meeting.

The agenda that you have proposed is perfect, it is just what we need; the 
topic of anti-corruption is very important in Serbia and I think with this 
agenda a case of a good European practice will be presented.

Please let me know if you need additional information from our part.

Kind regards,

Marina Rakić

Dear Marina,

Thank you very much for your letter and interest in Estonia's experience in 
the field of anti-corruption. We are pleased to confirm that the Ministry of 
Justice and Digital Affairs of Estonia would be very happy to meet with the 
delegation of Serbian journalists during their visit to Estonia in March 
2026.

We would be glad to host the meeting on 16, 17, or 18 March 2026, at a time 
that best fits your programme. Please let us know which of these dates would 
suit you best.

During the meeting, we suggest providing an overview of Estonia's main 
anti-corruption priorities and how they are implemented in practice. We can 
introduce our strategic approach, key preventive and enforcement measures, 
transparency and integrity mechanisms, as well as recent developments and 
future plans.

We hope that the meeting will be attended by colleagues who are directly 
responsible for criminal law and procedure matters within the field of 
criminal policy, as well as representatives from our foreign cooperation and 
communications teams.

We would also appreciate it if you could confirm the working language of the 
meeting. Will the discussion be held entirely in English, or will you 
arrange interpretation so that our officials may speak in Estonian with 
interpretation into Serbian?

We look forward to welcoming your delegation to the Ministry. Please feel 
free to share the list of participants once it is available.

Kind regards,

Priit Põiklik

Subject: Visit of a group of Serbian journalists to Estonia

Dear Madam/Sir,

I am addressing you on behalf of the Pulse of Europe - Media Trips to EU 
project that is under implementation in Serbia, which currently prepares a 
visit of a group of Serbian journalists to Estonia.

Let me briefly introduce the project: it is an EU-funded project with the 
main activity to support Serbian journalists to report on the best European 
practices, by organising media trips to EU countries. The main objective is 
to inform Serbian citizens, via media reports, on these practices and thus 
bring them closer the EU. So far, group and individual media trips were 
organised to 21 EU countries and some 630 media reports were produced and 
published. More information about the project is available on: 
<https://pulse-of-europe.euzatebe.rs/en/> 
https://pulse-of-europe.euzatebe.rs/en/

Currently, we are preparing a visit of a group of Serbian journalists (media 
trip) to Estonia, which will take place from 15 to 20 March 2026. The group 
will have 13 participants - journalists of mainstream Serbian media plus two 
members of the project team. The programme that we are developing focuses on 
several key topics, such are E digital government, fight against corruption, 
cyber security, fight against disinformation.

In the programme, one of the main segment is fight against corruption, 
having in mind a very good record that Estonia has in it. In that sense, we 
would like to include into it a visit to the Ministry of Justice that 
coordinates anti-corruption policy and strategy implementation in Estonia. 
If possible, for  meeting with the Ministry representatives that would 
enable journalists to get insight about anti-corruption policy and its 
records and future plans. I would kindly ask you for information if it could 
be possible during the abovementioned week, on any of days except 19 March, 
when we are on a field trip to Narva.

For Serbian journalists it is of utmost importance to be in position to hear 
firsthand about successful story when it regards anti-corruption measures 
and fight against corruption. I note that all participants will be fluent in 
English as well as that, in a case of positive answer, we would provide the 
list of participants in due time.

Thank you very much in advance for considering our request.

Kind regards,

Marina Rakić
