To the citizens of Balakliya town
Of Kharkiv Oblast
Dear friends!
Please accept my most sincere greetings on the occasion of an outstanding event – the 350th establishment anniversary of your glorious city!
One of the oldest human settlements in the Kharkiv Oblast is glorious by rich history and good traditions. As of today, Balakliya is a modern regional center with modern infrastructure that develops and prospers year by year.
The remarkable jubilee is a good cause to honour all those who multiply the glory of Slobozhansk region, ensure progressive advance of the region and rise of Ukrainian state. I am convinced that your humanities, diligence and persistency are the true guarantee of social consent and growth in prosperity.
On this day I wish you happiness and welfare! May this date inspire you with a sense of kinship with the fate of your native land and heartily turn you to its history, its present and its future.
Volodymyr RYBAK
