The fact that we could sit here in this extraordinary place and discuss from our point of view the most important issues for Europe and the world was a great joy and pride for me. I would like to thank the Presidents for the great honor you have done me by coming here and working in the Wawel Chambers.

What topics were discussed during the discussion?
Security issues, our common support for Ukraine, and how we should act to ensure that Ukraine not only survives the terrible Russian attack, but also how we should act to allow Ukraine to join the EU as soon as possible have been discussed many times brought.
– said President Duda.
I presented to the Presidents Poland’s priorities for the upcoming Polish Presidency of the EU Council, which is therefore primarily strengthening ties between the EU and the US (…). We also discussed the issue of the integration of new Member States into the EU. (…) We talked about the next priority, which is the reconstruction of Ukraine after the destruction of the war. (…) The last important issue was the EU’s energy security

“There is agreement among us on most points.”
I’m very glad we had this discussion. I am also pleased that there is agreement among us on most points. First of all, I was very satisfied with the fact that none of the presidents criticized the assumptions of the Polish presidency, which in fact were practically officially presented by me today. These were topics for deep discussion between us

We can greatly hope that the first half of 2025 in the EU will be a period of interesting debates and discussions, and, I hope, as a result of decisions that will bring more prosperity, good development and right decisions to the EU.
