Coalition-building phase begins around the country

In the largest cities, the conditions of these agreements are most often dictated by the Civic Platform (PO).

There is no possibility of cooperation," said Warsaw's newly-elected mayor, Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz. The head of the center-left bloc, Marek Borowski, said he would soon meet with Gronkiewicz-Waltz to discuss potential cooperation.
