"We are here on the eve of Slovakia taking over the EU presidency and Poland assuming the presidency of the Visegrad Group, in which we closely cooperate in the region; we are here also to speak about these values in Europe, to stress the significance they have for our nations, and to defend them." President Duda added that this was a great value of European integration and praised the fact that today people could move from one country to another without any problems.Andrzej Duda also expressed his hope that in remembering these values, Europe would be able to overcome all crises, including the one caused by Britain's vote to leave the EU.
