Gov't lays foundations for better Poland-EU relations

Sikorski confirmed the plan to send 350 Polish soldiers to Chad. "This is a beautiful gesture of European solidarity," announced the spokesperson for the French mission in the EU, Michele-Ann Okolotowicz. Meanwhile Bogdan Klich confirmed the plan to coordinate the purchase of weapons by EU states, as for years Poland has been accused of favoring the Americans in this respect. The turning point is to be December 4, when Prime Minister Donald Tusk will visit Brussels and in a discussion with the head of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, will outline Poland's policy towards the EU.
