- I won't hide that I am surprised by this choice [Sweden in the Orka submarine procurement program], but positively surprised. This means I've grown so unaccustomed to the government making rational decisions that yesterday I waited a few hours before commenting, checking if this information wouldn't be denied - Krzysztof Bosak said on Radio Republika.

- I was quietly hoping for the Swedes to be chosen. It seems to me that this is a rational direction for cooperation, but politics has accustomed us to the fact that completely different, non-merit-based considerations often prevail. So, here I am positively surprised - he continued.

- Why do I like the choice of the Swedes? A prosaic reason - because they are close. The Saab Kockums shipyard is in Karlskrona, with which we have a regular ferry connection. This shipyard and the technical university in Karlskrona are currently cooperating scientifically with Polish universities, they employ Poles and have subcontractors from Poland. […] The similar geopolitical situation of Poland and Sweden, a similar perception of risks in international politics, contributes to this cooperation being stable - he further stated.

As he noted: - It's too early for satisfaction, because for now, it's just an indication. And now, intergovernmental negotiations must still be successfully concluded and the contract signed. Here again, experience and skepticism suggest to me that this could still be halted.
