President Komorowski wants more NATO presence in east

President Bronisław Komorowski said at a National Security Council meeting on Wednesday that Poland will take advantage of being the host of the next year's NATO summit in Warsaw to make the alliance "strengthen the existing elements of the permanent presence of its forces on the eastern flank." The president pointed out that he meant armaments warehousing, enabling the alliance to shorten the prep time for conflict in case of a threat. "This is a very important summit from Poland’s security point of view, for the issue of the alliances eastern flank and also for NATO’s strategic development,” Komorowski said. The NATO summit will take place on July 8-9, 2016.
