– Today is precisely the moment when, as the Prime Minister of the Polish government, I can say that we are launching the ambitious ‘Polish Sea’ program. This is not a proposal for a new geographical name on maps; the Baltic will remain the Baltic, please do not worry, in schools we will continue to teach that Poland lies on the Baltic Sea. However, the Baltic Sea is slowly becoming truly Polish thanks to your efforts, thanks to what is happening in places like Szczecin, Świnoujście, the Tricity area, Kołobrzeg, Ustka, and also at sea – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the Maritime Congress.

As the head of the government said, we live in difficult and anxious times. The first task was to ensure greater security in the Baltic Sea, which is why we approached the organization of international protection for our waters with such determination.
