The Prime Minister said at a press briefing that “The Vistula Spit Recrossing is also an expression of our political realism; it strengthens our sovereignty. It also gives us pride because we will not have to ask our eastern neighbor whether we can enter our own territorial waters”.
He also pointed out that this strategic investment also includes the deepening of the waterway on the Elbląg River, as well as the entire security system, which will enable the use of the port in Elbląg in a “much more disjointed” way. He stressed that the investment will create thousands of new jobs.
