Kaczyński and Silva discuss Lisbon Treaty

Polish President Lech Kaczyński met with his Portuguese counterpart on Tuesday to discuss the Lisbon Treaty, Georgia and the EU summit, among other topics.

Kaczyński said he was optimistic about the future of the Lisbon Treaty during a press conference after meeting with Portuguese President Anibal Cavaco Silva, emphasizing that both leaders are positive to the future.

The President pointed out that the future of the Treaty isn't hindering on his signature, however, it's Ireland that needs to solve its own problem. "I have the right to sign and the right not to sign the Treaty. However, that is not the problem, the problem is what happened in Ireland," said Kaczyński.

He added that if Ireland decides to support the Treaty, then no EU member state will reject it.

Silva met with Kaczyński in Warsaw and was slated to meet later with Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
