“I am deeply convinced that Poland is not threatened by financial penalties in the Turów mine case, but we are approaching the problem very seriously,” said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on TVP Wrocław this past Saturday.
The prime minister reminded that for a week the Polish negotiating team has been in Prague and “with good faith is negotiating a compromise”
Asked about negotiations with the Czech side and the fact that the Czechs are demanding penalties for continuing mining at the Turów lignite mine, the prime minister said he is “deeply convinced that Poland is not threatened by financial penalties regarding the Turów mine. But we are approaching the problem very seriously,” he assured.
The Prime Minister reminded that for a week the Polish negotiating team has been in Prague and - as he said - “with good faith” has been negotiating a compromise. Such a solution, in which Poland would engage its resources in various cross-border projects, would benefit Polish citizens, Czech citizens, and the Turów mine and power plant would continue to perform their functions,” the prime minister said.
