The Prime Minister of Brandenburg, Dietmar Woidke, also arrived.
On the bridge connecting Słubice and Frankfurt (Oder), a photo exhibition “This is Europe – Europa ist Hier” is presented, which shows the history of Polish-German cooperation through the prism of the European twin cities of Frankfurt (Oder) Słubice. Sikorski and Baerbock plan to cross the bridge together later during their stay.
In the afternoon, the Collegium Polonicum in Słubice will host a concert by the Brandenburg State Orchestra in Frankfurt, conducted by Howard Griffiths.
