Poland's defence minister: no shield if U.S. conditions unacceptable
Poland will not allow the United States to install an anti-missile shield on its territory if it does not agree with the conditions the U.S. administration places on its construction, Polish Defence Minister Aleksander Szczyglo said on Friday. Polish negotiators at the ongoing shield talks in Prague voiced " disappointment" with the U.S. offer, particularly with suggestions that Poland should participate in the installation costs, Polish daily Rzeczpospolita reported. Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said Friday that he "had no knowledge" of Poland participating in the shield costs. Note EU-Digest: "The US will soon come to understand what the EU already knows - Poland's concept of a partnership is to "take all and give nothing".
