Translate into Ukrainian taking note of the words and phrases in bold type:
1. An ambassador or minister is, on being appointed to a post, provided with Credentials, or Letters of Credence, signed by his sovereign or the head of his State. 2. The head of the mission is considered as having taken up his functions in the receiving State either when he has presented his credentials or when he has notified his arrival and a true copy of his credentials has been presented to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the receiving State, or such other ministry as may be agreed. 3. The order of presentation of credentials or of a true copy thereof is determined by the date and time of the arrival of the head of the mission. 4. Heads of mission take precedence in their respective classes in the order of the date and time of taking up their functions. Alterations in the credentials of a head of mission not involving any change of class do not affect his precedence. 5. Letters addressed by presidents of republics to sovereigns may be credentials of ambassadors or ministers, letters of recall, recredentials, announcement of election to the presidency, etc. 6. In the United Kingdom, the form of letters of credence does not differ from that of any other type of formal royal letter. 7. It is unusual, in modern practice, for an ambassador, on retiring from his post, to present his Letters of Recall himself. 8. Not to find himself in an awkward position, the newly appointed ambassador should be sure that his predecessor had already presented his Letters of Recall. 9. Accrediting citizen X. by the present Letters of Credence we request You, Your Majesty /Your (Royal) Highness/, to receive him favourably and to give credence to all that he will have the honour to communicate to You on behalf of the Government.
