European leaders at Weimar Triangle begin to make up after Iraq war

Poland intends to preserve its good relations with the U.S., France and Germany, President Aleksander Kwasniewski said after the meeting of the so-called Weimar Triangle group on Friday in Wrocław. President of France Jacques Chirac, said that Poles should not feel offended by his criticism of Poland's support for the Americans in the war with Iraq. "Since we are one European family we have to be able to communicate within this family. I had no intention to offend anybody," he said. At the same time, he reminded that France and Germany were the first countries to have supported Poland's entry in the EU. (Rzeczpospolita, May 10-11, p. A3) A.Z.
