President Kaczyński lobbies to expand NATO eastwards

"I believe that the right decisions will be made in Bucharest," announced Kaczyński a day before the NATO summit in Romania. The President reminded that Western countries supported Poland's accession to the Treaty and the same should be done with regards to Ukraine and Georgia. "Thanks to the enlargement of NATO in 1999 and the European Union in 2004 the zone of peace, security and stability increased significantly on the Old Continent," said President Kaczyński. US President George Bush who visited Kiev yesterday also supports Ukraine's candidacy, however two key countries, namely Germany and France are against such a move. (Dziennik, pp. 1, 12) A.K.
