No threat evident, but security tight on eve of European Economic Summit

There will be 41 sessions, discussion panels and workshops held during the three-day conference. Although the police have announced they do not have any signals of any possible terrorist threat, the authorities have mobilized an additional 8,000 policemen and estimated the cost of security measures at zł.10 million. "This is the largest security operation in our contemporary history," stated Deputy Interior Minister Andrzej Brachmański. About 50 companies will participate in organizing the Forum, including four domestic ones: BRE Bank, PKN Orlen, ITI Group and Polpharma.
