Poland's President looks forward to Warsaw energy summit

Speaking at an ad hoc press conference organized on the oil fields near Baku, Lech Kaczynski said he expected the meeting to take place on the 11th and 12th of May in the Polish capital. He also assured it would be held even, if President Nursultan Nazarbayev decides not to participate in the event. The Polish head of state expressed confidence that the planned Warsaw energy summit would define the participating countries' plans concerning oil and gas trade.

During his just concluded visit to Kazakhstan President Kaczynski invited Nursultan Nazarbayev for the Warsaw conference. The two politicians discussed the Polish concept of constructing an extension of the Odessa-Brody pipeline to reach Poland by-passing Russia. President Nazarbayev then stated the project would be hard to implement without Russian participation.
