Prime Ministers of Poland

The leader of the ruling party in Poland has stated that Warsaw will oppose all models which create different "speeds" of integration in the EU at the upcoming summit meeting in Rome this week.

"We cannot accept the creation of a "two-speed Europe," argued Jaroslaw Kaczyński, chairman of the Eurosceptic Law and Justice Party for the Polish edition wSieci, cited by Reuters.

Poland's Constitutional Court has approved a law which may be used to ban the protests of the opposition.

The decision of the court was announced in an empty hall and streamed live on the Internet after the media were banned from attending.

''The European Union is an organization dominated by one country. We cannot hide that this country is Germany.

Poland's PM Beata Szydlo said on Thursday that she would block the joint statement that normally follows a meeting of European Union leaders after they overrode her objections to re-electing the summit chair, according to Reuters.

She said this would mean the summit was invalid, but EU officials said this was not the case.

Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo has confirmed she will officially block the final statement at the end of the EU summit in Brussels.

This will happen because of the reelection of Donald Tusk on Thursday as head of the European Council - despite Warsaw's opposition.

EU leaders have re-elected Donald Tusk as president of the European Council despite a bid to oust him by his home country, Poland.
Sources say the leaders voted 27 to one to give him another two-and-a-half-year term.
The Polish government insisted Mr Tusk, a former PM from a rival party, had violated his mandate by interfering in domestic politics.

The Bulgarian government has decided to support the reelection of Donald Tusk as Euripean Council President for another term.

The decision, announced after a cabinet meeting, comes against the backdrop of resistance from authorities in Warsaw against his possible second tenure.

The Polish ambassador to Podgorica, Irena Tatarzynska, told BIRN that Russian military officer Eduard Shishmakov, one of the leading suspects in the alleged coup plot in Montenegro, was thrown out of Poland due to a spying accusation.
