Most Germans don't see Polish government as reliable partner in EU

As many as 44 percent of Poles and only 27 percent of Germans think that Poland is a reliable EU's partner, while 32 percent of Poles and 56 percent of Germans said the opposite is true, according to a report on Polish-German relations published by Polish NGO Instytut Spraw Publicznych and Germany's Konrad Adenauer Stiftung and the Bertelsman Foundation. The state of Polish-German relations is considered good by 67 percent of Poles and by 43 percent Germans. Only 19 percent of Poles think the mutual relations are bad, while the share of Germans is significantly higher and stands at 45 percent. Similar numbers of Poles and Germans would accept the members of the neighboring country as a citizen, a next-door neighbor or a colleague from work (between 74 and 79 percent).  The situation is somewhat different when it comes to closer relations. Only 44 percent of Germans would accept a Pole as their son/daughter in law, while as many as 73 percent of Poles wouldn't mine a German to marry their children.
