PM has high hopes for EU constitution negotiations

It was also revealed yesterday that President Lech Kaczyński will most likely represent the Polish stance. Three days before the summit the PM had a chance to convince the partners of the Visegrad Group to support Poland's position, however, so far only the Czech Republic has shown its support, with Slovakia and Hungary both demanding the prepared version of the constitution be accepted. "We cannot have a situation where the voice of one citizen of the European union will be worth twice as much as of another citizen," declared Prime Minister Kaczyński.
