Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski met with his French counterpart Bernard Kouchner yesterday during an annual meeting with Polish Ambassadors.

Sikorski presented a plan of strengthening the defense policies of the EU, which is to be one of the priorities when Poland presides over the European Union.

"The document includes several concrete propositions, from the creation of new units to infrastructure projects. We are waiting for a reply, but initially the proposition was very interesting for the French side," said one Polish diplomat. This proposition is, among others, a kind of emergency plan if the anti missile shield will not be located in Poland.

"We are hoping that this gap will be replaced with the European military infrastructure located in our country," said an anonymous source quoted by Gazeta Wyborcza.
