Polish leaders meet in preparation for EU summit
Throughout the weekend, President Lech Kaczyński, Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Affairs Minister Radosław Sikorski held a series of consultations with foreign politicians, diplomats and ministers that should help implement Poland's Eastern Partnership concept, which will help link former Soviet countries with the EU.
The government wants the final declaration of the summit to provide a strong signal about the political intentions of accepting Ukraine to the EU. During the summit, the PM wants to convince other member states to also include in the final declaration a condition of holding a November EU-Russia summit if Russian troops are withdrawn from Georgia.
