This is what the letter from Russia`s president Vladimir Putin to Simeon II says:
`Dear Mr Saxe-Coburg,
Kindly accept our sincere greetings in connection with the landslide victory at the parliamentary elections in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian electorate proved that they associate Your name with hopes for changes for a better life, for a successful and speedy settlement of problems Bulgaria is faced with. I believe that the forthcoming period in Russo-Bulgarian relations will mark a stage of preserving and promoting the all-round relations. We are ready for the constructive dialogue with Bulgaria on a wide range of issues, on a bilateral, regional and international scale. I wish You and Your movement successes in Your activity aimed at the well-being and prosperity of the friendly Bulgarian people.`
