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).
