“All our EU partners understand that shared responsibility for our security is something we need today. This is why I decided to propose the air defense shield initiative together with the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis” noted the Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk coming to Summit meeting.

Responding to a question about the consultations of the previous days regarding a common line of European leaders on the new top of the EU, where Georgia Meloni did not participate, he pointed out: “No one respects Italy and Georgia Meloni more than me.” At the same time, he explained that there is a “misunderstanding” in relation to the exclusion of leaders including the Italian Prime Minister. “Sometimes we need certain political platforms to facilitate the process” said the Polish Prime Minister. “We have completed the procedures on this political platform but this is only to facilitate the process. The decision rests with Mrs. Meloni and the other leaders,” he emphasized.
