British PM Tony Blair jets into Warsaw to deliver his vision of Europe's future

British Prime Minister Tony Blair has chosen Warsaw as a venue to deliver a speech outlining his vision of the future of Europe, thus arriving on Friday for an overdue visit. An official visit by Blair slated for July 1999 was cancelled at the last minute, allegedly due to the situation in Northern Ireland. Unofficial sources, however, assert Britain is uncomfortable because of its failure to officially recognize the contribution of the Polish intelligence and army to the victory against Germany in World War II. In related news, Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek was admitted to hospital Wednesday due to what his press secretary described as " exhaustion due to intensive work." Nonetheless, the premier's office is adamant Buzek will meet with his British counterpart on Friday as planned. (Zycie, page 4).
