Polish MEP warns of imminent tensions with EU over US Patriot missiles
Poland has to anticipate new tensions with the European Union, if Warsaw allows the deployment of an American anti-missile system on its territory, the online site of the German ARD television network cited a Polish member of the European Parliament as saying on Tuesday.
Ryszard Czarnecki of the Sambroona (Self-Defense) Party warned that the joint US-Polish missile plans are viewed as a direct snub of the European Union. "The western European countries, especially Germany and France, are against this project. For Poland's political opponents, this will be another reason to say Poland is the Trojan horse of the US within Europe," Czarnecki said. A staunch political ally of the US, Poland announced the start of exploratory talks on the possible stationing of US National Missile Defense (NMD) bases in the eastern European country within two weeks.
