Donald Tusk wants to secure part of EU funds this year
15:31
Donald Tusk, who is likely to become prime minister in December, has announced that Poland will receive its first EU funds under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (KPO) in December as well.
Tusk is likely referring to the possibility of receiving advances from the additional RePowerEU program, which is one of many elements of the EU's recovery package. Obtaining these advances is relatively simple, as it does not require the fulfillment of the milestones necessary to access the full pool of funds awaiting us. Under RePowerEU, we have €23 billion in cheap loans and €2.75 billion in grants available, and as part of the advance, we can use 20 percent of this amount, for a total of €5.15 billion.
