Midnight marks monumental moment in modern history of this country

President Aleksander Kwaśniewski will solemnly raise the EU's flag and the union's expansion will be celebrated across the continent. Tomorrow afternoon, he will fly alone to Dublin for the main celebrations, while out-going Prime Minister Leszek Miller will controversially share a jet there with Germany's Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and the Czech Prime Minister Vladimir Spidla. Ireland has reportedly prepared a lavish program of celebrations to mark the accession. Here the event will be marked with parades, concerts and other related events. (Rzeczpospolita, p. 1) D.W.
