President accepts Tusk's resignation

Prime Minister Donald Tusk has resigned from his post in order to prepare for his new role as President of the European Council. President Bronisław Komorowski has awarded Tusk with a symbolic compass to aid him in his new endeavour. "The position of Donald Tusk in Brussels is proof of Poland's strong position in the European community," added the president. The governing coalition's candidate for a new prime minister is Ewa Kopacz, currently serving as the Marshal of the Sejm. Indeed, the president has scheduled a meeting with Mrs. Kopacz to possibly discuss her new role. Tusk has until September 25th to name a replacement.
