Greetings,

Well. Here I am. Excuse my frankness madam premier, but I am the one your state media demonizes so, no? The subject of your effigy burnings, protests, etcetera.

I believe enough is enough Your Excellency. You've surely noticed by now, on my direction as crown sovereign & emperor, the sanctions against your protectorate of West Occitania, & your state proper have been lifted. The Continental Empire of Justosia is on your travel itinerary. These were gestures of goodwill. Neither of us wants to potentially plunge our civilians, friends, family, or that of our allies into a war. We come from two very different sides of the spectrum. Which is why this reproachment is so necessary & even righteous. If Justosia & Serenierre can get along, peace will rule Europe I truly feel.

You will notice a tamer, more stable foreign policy from Implaria recently. Let us turn heads in the name of life. God bless you. Viva Justosia.

The Villesen Government shall be monitoring the developments in the course of bilateral relations. The historical visit by Premier Martinique to Avalon is but a first step in the healing of past misunderstandings. At this stage, the Villesen Government seeks to merely explore the potential avenues for cooperation and while we appreciate the sentiments expressed by His Majesty in the letter to Her Excellency Premier Martinique, we cannot offer more than dialogue and reconciliation.

We appreciate the moderation in foreign policy doctrines from the Government in Avalon, however, the great ship of statecraft requires time to truly reorient its position. In light thereof, we call on the C.E of Justosia to join me and issue a joint declaration in support of maritime security for international mercantile traffic on the occasion of the state visit.

Furthermore, we seek clarifications from the Government of Justosia, whether it endorses the Treaty of Camp Hill, which guaranteed independence to the western half of the Occitanian Peninsula; and additionally that any claim by the Justosian Emperor to the Kingdom of Occitania and its territories does not extend to any inch of territory granted to the Protectorate of Occitania, under the terms of the Treaty of Camp Hill. Additionally, we remain of the view that the unilateral declaration of the Imperial Regency of Occitania by the Justosian Emperor may potentially be a violation of the Treaty of Camp Hill - hence we seek legal opinions in this regard.

Moreover, we feel obliged to correct the statement in the letter so received, there are no state media enterprises in Serenierre and as such we are rather puzzled by the mention of that claim. It is hoped that this is merely a misunderstanding of the ground reality, which can be remedied through better dialogue between diplomatic personnel from both sides in the future.

Greetings,

Apologies Madam Premier. His Imperial Majesty is not able to correspond with you this occasion as the business of governance & protecting Implaria is most pressing. I am the Honourable Foreign Minister Fernando Torres. I shall happily address your concerns this day.

Firstly, issuance of such a joint declaration is acceptable so long as Serenierre understands this, rather obviously, doesn't affect Justosiam naval operations protecting our trade lanes, holdings, etcetera.

Secondly, the Continental Empire of Justosia would happily endorse & ratify the treaty of Camp Hill. This will require an approval vote by the Continental Senate de Imperio however. H.I.M. would also only give it Crown Assent if Justosian imperial regency of East Occitania & Brecosta is fully recognized & respected. We are respectfully of the opinion it is indisputable. Our Crown Prince, HRH Carlos Francisco III has married Occitan Crown Princess Mirèo de Marsilia. Her father, HRM Julius Faure ruled those lands by every legal right. We are quite confident Madam Premier understands how hereditary monarchies & the transfer of lands nationale via regency upon royal marriages work as your nation once had a monarchy. This is why we do not require legal opinion on this matter we feel. We fully recognize & respect West Occitania. We respectfully expect reciprocation.

Thirdly & lastly, if Madam Premier would be so kind, we request clarification on a matter generale. Serenierre bills itself as a Communist republic no? It is quite clear that Capitalism exists, dare I say flourishes within your nation. State Capitalism perhaps? How you say, Socialism lite? I request this clarification because state run capitalism would be far more tolerable in the halls of the Government Quarter & the Milenio Imperio Palace than Communism might be as we continue to move forward with reproachment, friendship, & peace. This remains our truest desire. God bless you. Viva Justosia.

The Villesen Government echoes the statement from its counterpart in Avalon. To build a prosperous future, rapprochement, cooperation, and friendship is a necessity. However, there are a number of concerns which still must be addressed and resolved to the satisfaction of all sides.

We welcome the Justosian commitment to the freedom of the seas. Furthermore, the support shown by the Government to the Treaty of Camp Hill is also a positive step.

The question of legitimacy of the Justosian Emperor over East Occitania is problematic. Under law, only HRH Princess Mireo di Marsilia may inherit the right to the territory. In our reading of the law, if the old king is deceased the right may only pass to his own heirs. We are curious on what grounds is the regency of Occitania (East) grounded on? Is HRH Princess Mireo a minor, mentally unsound, or incapacitated in some other way?

While it is quite reasonable to consider the Justosian Regency of Brecosta as the only viable solution for that distant territory, the same argument cannot truly be extended to the territory of the Kingdom of Occitania (East). Unless the Justosian imperial government can furnish a sound legal basis on which the Regency of Occitania is premised, His Majesty's claim shall be open to criticism and censure from all quarters, ranging from Eiffelland to Touzen. We advise in good faith and hope that Avalon will understand our concerns.

It is a view in Villesen that supporting the Avalon Government on the question of regency would re-open a controversial period of Gallian history. The issue, fundamentally speaking, is not one of reciprocity. It is a firm issue of legality.

We look forward to hearing the response of the Justosian Government to the foregoing and hope that a working dialogue remains in place as we explore the issues at hand.

Greetings,

We are very happy to read these positive receptions by your government. Especially concerning Brecosta. On the matter of East Occitania itself. HRH Crown Princess Mirèo de Marsilia, I believe it goes without saying she's emotionally incapacitated. She's lost her family, country, everything. Even if she were in a better emotional state, how could she administer rule? East Occitania is partly in ruins. Totally fiscally so. Her native organs of government no longer function.

Without Justosian support, she has no hope of functional claim to anything. The claims of title our Imperial Family have upon marriage into her's we believe is another matter. We welcome a dialog. God bless you. Viva Justosia.

Responsible statecraft requires well reasoned rationale, which is founded on correct principles of law and politics. HRH Princess Mireo, as the legitimate successor to the vile King of Occitania cannot be simply disregarded and relegated to a secondary role.

We are regretful to say that Serenierre, as a defender of Gallian regional sovereignty cannot be convinced that the reasons for assuming the Regency over East Occitania are legitimate, as presented in the previous correspondence.

The issue of the Regency of Occitania is highly important in our view. As such, we are eager to examine what specifically does the Imperial Government seek by claiming such a status for itself on behalf of the Crown Princess. The issue of the mental health of the princess is an irrelevance, given that the Kingdom of Occitania still retains a number of aristocrats who would be glad to serve as a prime minister to the Princess.

Is the Justosian Government emphasizing the legitimacy of the claim of HRH The Princess de Marsilia? Is the Justosian Emperor taking on the mantle of responsibility to ensure that the Princess is restored to the throne of East Occitania and the current Eiffellander backed regime there is topped? What specifically is the nature of the self-proclaimed Justosian Regency over Occitania?

It is hoped the Justosian Government understands and is mindful of the stakes at play in this matter.

Greetings,

If your government is emphasizing the claim of HRH Crown Princess Mirèo de Marsilia, daughter of one of the greatest sovereigns this milenio HRM Rex Mercator King Julius Faure, then quite simply, respectfully, it's utterly ludicrous to claim that HRH's mental state is somehow 'irrelevant' to her being rightfully able to administer her claim. You claim she cannot be relegated, yet clearly you'd rather see a Prime Minister actually govern in her sted. Respectfully, which is it?

We are happy to discuss your latter concern. The current Eiffellander government is a loosely organized military regime mostly. We believe, rather obviously, that this isn't sustainable indefinitely. My Crown Sovereign, Justosia, understands the importance of certain aspects of East Occitania in this facet. This is why the specific title of regent over Occitania, only Occitania, is negotiable in our view. H.I.M. could be happy settling for another title such as Duke, Lord, etcetera. Justosia would be happy to join a summit with our nations, & Eiffelland to sort this out more thoroughly. That is if your potential delegates could stomach being in the same room with them. Are you not still sworn enemies? We are how you say, almost bending over backwards here for the sake of diplomacy. As I'm sure you know however, titles are very important to crowned sovereigns. I'm sure you'll agree, as an educated man of the world, that upon entering HRH Princess Marsilia's family, H.I.M. is due A title.

We might also, respectfully hope, that you fully realize the, again respectfully, how you say actual stakes indeed? There remains a vast chorus internationale condemning Serenierre for war crimes. Specifically the use of weapons of mass destruction. We would note your denials. Note again that the Continental Empire of Justosia abhors & condemns all use or potential use of WMDs. Serenierre's reputation, respectfully, could be better. In fairness so could Justosia's. This is why, despite all this we are here, talking to you. I respectfully implore you. Meet us halfway on a road to peace.

Sincerely,

1. The Republique Seraziniste is committed to ensuring the will of the East Occitan people is respected. The question of Princess Mireo's right is not in question. However, the identity of the regent must be such which is truly acceptable to the people.

2. The Villesen Government welcomes the Justosian view that the Eiffellander presence in East Occitania is a military administration. We remind the Justosian Government that Eiffelland has stationed 150,000 personnel, which is entirely an unsustainable number for a country of Eiffelland's bearing. Fundamentally, the issue of His Imperial Majesty's gaining an Occitanian title is not justifiable if it extends to the Occitan mainland.

We are willing to concede to the point that, perhaps, Princess Mireo has handed over the Island of Brecosta as part of her dowry to the Justosian Emperor. In the same vein, the Regency of Brecosta is entirely justified in our eyes. However, the issue remains His Imperial Majesty's claim to regency of East Occitania is weak and unsubstantiated. Although, we believe it may still be possible for His Imperial Majesty to legitimize his claim as Regent of Occitania locum tenens should the Justosian Government fully enforce an Eiffellander military withdrawal from East Occitania. In that situation, it would be clear to see that His Imperial Majesty is a true friend of Gallia and of the Occitan people.

3. The Republique Seraziniste has never denied making use of weaponry of high impact and it is a matter of record that such weapons were used against hardened military targets. However, we have only denied assertions by reactionary states that we harmed civilians. That is an untruth. As the Justosian Emperor is the one who opened this line of discussion, we are offended at the assertion that Serenierre did anything wrong in law. That which is not a law is not illegal.

4. To meet the Justosian proposal halfway, as you stated, would require our own concerns regarding the Eiffellander presence in the region to be satisfied. Can Serenierre be convinced that if it does not oppose His Imperial Majesty's claim to Regency of Occitania, would Serenierre be able to rely on Justosia as a partner or will Justosia continue to prioritize its relations with Eiffelland?

Greetings,

My ministry is reaching out to the government of Eiffelland as I communicate this. We feel these talks would require their input at least indirectly.

Sincerely,

The Republique Seraziniste is convinced that the evidence brought forward against the Duke of Flonice by HRH The Princess de Marsilia-Francisco is credible. However, we are unable to publicly comment due to the sensitive nature of the matter. It is genuinely concerning that the Kingdom of Eiffelland is still supporting the self-styled King of Occitania, the former Duke of Flonice. Furthermore, we were quite shocked to see the Trier Government's attempts to have HRH The Princess abandon her claims. This is surely not the manner of allies.

We call on HRH The Princess de Marsilia-Francisco to stand strong and to vigorously defend her stance in the face of wanton patriarchal mischief.

Our Intelligence Sub Ministry warned us some time ago that that particular region of Gallia is a powder keg. The machinations of this third party prove them correct.

The empire will maintain its policy of non military maximum pressure. We will watch these, suspicious developments.

On a more joyous note. The Continental Empire of Justosia happily requests permission again from your state to host our embassy. God bless you. Viva Justosia.
