Polish Prime Minister did not go to the summit in Budapest due to the conflict with the Czech Republic

Warsaw is trying to resolve the dispute with Prague, relying on existing “legal and political instruments”.

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki did not go to the IV Budapest Demographic Summit amid the conflict with the Czech Republic over the Turov mine. About it informs PAP on Thursday 23 September.

The fact that Morawiecki did not go to Hungary because of a dispute over a mine on the Polish-Czech border was confirmed by the representative of the Polish government, Piotr Müller.

“Our actions in international affairs are focused on this issue (mines Turov – ed.), And therefore the prime minister decided to cancel his visit,” said Müller.

He stressed that Warsaw is trying to resolve the dispute with Prague, relying on existing “legal and political instruments.”

Note that Moravetsky was supposed to take part in the summit in a discussion panel together with President of Slovakia Aleksandar Vucic, Prime Minister of Slovenia Janez Jansha and former US Vice President Mike Pence.

Instead of Morawiecki, the summit will be attended by Polish Minister of Family, Labor and Social Policy Marlena Malong.

Recall that earlier the court ordered Poland pay EU € 500 thousand per day… In May, the European Court ordered Poland to stop the operation of the Turov mine, since its operation, in particular, the extraction of brown coal, sharply reduces the level of groundwater in the settlements of the Liberec region of the Czech Republic. However, Warsaw refused.

Later, Poland commented on the decision of the EU court on compensation. Country authorities will not close the mine Turovas it would jeopardize the stability of the Polish energy system, the government said.
