Pro EU meeting may turn out to to bring Germany and France into Iraq

Today, the Presidents of Poland, France and Germany will meet in Wrocław for the Weimar Summit. It was to be an element of the EU referendum campaign and this united vision was to be presented by the French and German presidents to the Polish public. However, the summit might rather try to show that despite divisions in Europe caused by the war in Iraq, the integration of the new countries with the EU is a historic event above the current rift. "The role of Poland should not be limited to calming relations between France, Germany and the USA. Both Germany and France have excellent ways of reaching agreement with the Washington administration, so an attempt to play an intermediary role might be negatively received," said the head of the National Security Office (BBN) Marek Siwiec. The role of President Kwaśniewski might rather base on finding out on what terms the two countries might be willing to join the program of reconstructing Iraq. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 6-7) M.M.
