Kaczyński's off to meet Baltic counterparts

President Lech Kaczyński is slated to meet with the heads of three Baltic States to work out a common agreement on Georgia for an upcoming European Union summit scheduled to take place on September 1.

Kaczyński will meet with his counterparts from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and is planning to depart on Thursday afternoon. He will fly to Vilnius to meet the heads of state.

"There's an expectation from the Baltic states that the president in Brussels will present a common stance of the three states - the three Baltic States and Poland," said Piotr Kownacki, vice-chief of the president's chancellery to Radio ZET on Thursday. He said that President Kaczyński will act as the main voice that will present in Brussels the opinions and decisions of the Baltic States leaders.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk will also attend Monday's EU summit along with Kaczyński. The two politicians also said they will meet on Friday to work out a common strategy when it comes to Georgia.
