“Certainly, this summit in Vilnius will bring closer the prospect of expanding the zone of stability to the east of the Polish border,” Marcin Przydacz, head of the Presidential Office of International Policy, noted in an interview with TVP Info.
The head of the International Policy Office of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, Marcin Przydacz, explained the line of the Polish story at the NATO summit in Vilnius. The politician noted that the common threat of Russian imperialism felt by the countries of our region is not well understood in Berlin.
Polish point of view
The analysis we present as Poles in Vilnius is understood and listened to, this voice is much stronger because we were just right
– said Marcin Przydacz.
There are states, such as the countries of Central and Eastern Europe, including Poland, that want to take steps forward. There are also countries, or a country from the western part of our continent, that pull the brakes if possible. However, we hope that all allies, led of course by the United States – because that is the strongest ally – will make the right decisions here. We hope that the mistakes made in Bucharest, which were made then and for which many – including in our region – had to pay, have created a sense of instability, because soon after these wrong decisions, despite Lech Kaczyński’s appeal in 2008, Vladimir Putin has felt the weakness of NATO, attacked Georgia, a few years later he attacked Crimea, Donbas
– said Marcin Przydacz on TVP Info.
We are in the same situation today due to those mistakes. This cannot be repeated and I think the analysis we are presenting in Vilnius is understood and listened to. Today this voice is much stronger here because we were simply right and this history lesson has been at least partially made up in recent years.
– added the head of BPM.
A symbolic change
The head of the Presidential Office of International Policy pointed to an important change, which, also in a symbolic sense, reflects changes in world politics and the approach of most NATO countries to Russian imperialism.
Putin spoke at the Bucharest summit in 2008, Zelensky will speak here. This is the gigantic difference also at the level of symbols
– commented Marcin Przydacz on TVP Info.
Another, in his view, positive message from the NATO summit in Vilnius is the shift in focus of Alliance international policy to the East, which should enhance the security of Central and Eastern European countries and contribute to a greater involvement of the United States in our region.
Certainly, the summit in Vilnius will bring closer the perspective of expanding the zone of stability to the east of the Polish border […]. In my opinion, the symbolism of this summit will be very great […] at the summit in Bucharest in 2008, headed by Angela Merkel, Vladimir Putin spoke, Volodymyr Zelensky will speak here. This is the gigantic difference also at the level of symbols
said Przydacz.
The politician of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland also referred to the issue of establishing a special NATO-Ukraine Council, which should coordinate the efforts of both sides to bring Kiev closer and gain Alliance member status.
As for the decisions on Ukraine, let’s wait two more days. Certainly in my opinion, and that is also what the president is striving for, to make these steps forward. Today there are no geopolitical conditions for full expansion, but some actions can be prepared, waiting for the right moment. One such action will be the creation of a NATO-Ukraine Special Council so that Ukraine can effectively convene meetings of the North Atlantic Council.
he explained.
Sweden in NATO
Marcin Przydacz also reacted to the news of NATO enlargement with Sweden. The politician viewed this move as a positive action by the Alliance, which will strengthen the security of the Baltic Sea basin and Scandinavia.
This is already the first success of this summit. Yesterday an agreement was made between Turkey and Sweden this is very good news for Poland because the Baltic Sea is becoming a de facto internal NATO lake yes another ally from the north will join us we hope if that so is [decyzję] President Erdogan has taken it up quickly
– he summarized on TVP Info.
