- I have made genuine and easily verifiable attempts at close cooperation with the President regarding foreign policy. But for many weeks, there has been practically no reaction. Including not answering the phone, so I regret that someone has convinced… The beginnings were not the worst, I must say, at least the President responded to texts or calls - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- I really don't need Mr. Donald Tusk's advice. Let him take care of healthcare, let him take care of the budget - said Mateusz Morawiecki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on Polsat News' "Gość Wydarzeń".

He commented on the Prime Minister's words in this way.

- We have a gigantic budget hole, 244 billion zlotys, a record. And the level of revenues up to November is lower than 2 years ago, and this is not solely explained by changes related to local government financing. These are serious problems - he continued.

- Poland does not need lectures - it needs European allies as strong as itself. It was a great honor for me to meet with the wonderful Jarosław Kaczyński, Chairman of the Law and Justice party, to discuss leadership, security, and the future of the American-Polish alliance - wrote US Ambassador Tom Rose.

- During President Trump's term, the US-Poland partnership is based on realism, sovereignty, and concrete results - he noted on social media.

- What Mr. Morawiecki is doing today is simply unbelievable, something unthinkable just a few months ago. However, it's a bit funny that the competition extends even to Christmas Eve, from what I've read. Still, you should sit at the same table on Christmas Eve - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.

- Don't argue amongst yourselves. That's all I can tell them [PiS politicians]. Many weeks ago, I said that it's no coincidence that when I look at President Kaczyński, and when his parliamentary colleagues stand up and shout, for example, Karol Nawrocki, the President also claps, but he's not happy. It wasn't malice, but the simplest analysis - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.

- It is known that Jarosław Kaczyński has lost his status, the status of the leader of the Polish right or the leader of the Polish right, and it seems definitive, and that is probably the reason why his almost cult-like status in PiS is fading and has effectively become a thing of the past - he continued.

- President Nawrocki and his entourage are de facto refusing cooperation when it comes to foreign policy, and it's not just about the G20. In reality, I encounter such attempts to undermine the authority of the Polish government and Poland almost daily from someone in the president's entourage, and this serves our interests very poorly - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- I will not comment on the president's past or the issues of 'fixed matches' or, generally speaking, the president's peculiar hobby. It is no longer my place to do so. He has been elected, he is the president, so the voters have at least partially accepted his life story as it is - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing.

- What we planned and have been working on for many, many months, which is building this format of Eastern flank states, i.e., states that border Russia, either by sea or by land, to make this format as effective as possible. We have also accepted the proposal to lead the work of this group together with Finland. We will be hosting the prime ministers of these states in Poland as well - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference.

- This bloc, I call it the Northern bloc, today the Bulgarians and Romanians were also guests. It is known that these are Eastern flank states, but we started this cooperation from protecting the Baltic Sea against threats from Russia, and this cooperation with Sweden, the Baltic states, but also Denmark, of course Finland and Norway, yields truly excellent results - he continued.

"There isn't a day without a BBN disgrace. Now we learn that the deputy head of the BBN slammed the Pentagon's door on the Polish military attaché in the USA, who had prepared his visit there. Unfortunately, the BBN has become a hub of immature and agitated frustrates who are harming Poland," wrote Tomasz Siemoniak on X.

Nie ma dnia bez kompromitacji BBN. Teraz dowiadujemy się, że wiceszef BBN zatrzasnął drzwi do Pentagonu przed attaché wojskowym RP w USA, który przygotował tam jego wizytę. BBN stało się niestety ośrodkiem niedojrzałych i rozgorączkowanych frustratów, którzy szkodzą Polsce.

"What happened after December 16, '81, also leaves us, contemporaries, with an important message. About what the communist system was, but also about what Poland was like after '89 and what the systemic transformation looked like after 1989" - said President Karol Nawrocki during the commemoration of the 44th anniversary of the pacification of the Wujek mine.

"The murderers under communism were not convicted, but those who had the strength and courage to protest, other miners, were persecuted. No one was convicted before '89 for the premeditated murder of 9 people, nor were they convicted after 1989. Convictions only came in the 21st century, with symbolic sentences" - he continued.

"How can one receive a sentence of 4 or 6 years of imprisonment when shooting at an innocent person? How can we speak of freedom, of the rule of law, when in the 21st century those who murdered here and spilled the blood of Polish miners, murdered their brothers, Poles, have not been brought to justice?" - he went on to say.

"This, unfortunately, was the Third Polish Republic for a long time, during which the main dictators and murderers, like Wojciech Jaruzelski and Czesław Kiszczak, never bore responsibility for the murder of nearly 100 victims of martial law, and those who today want to teach us democracy, freedom, and European values, called the dictator Wojciech Jaruzelski a man of honor and buried him with honors" - he added.

"Freedom does not look like this, and this story is being told today, here at the Wujek mine. Yes, we expect historical justice and for freedom to be called freedom, victims to be called victims, and executioners to be called executioners. This is what our present and our future need" - he emphasized.

- The conservative part of society cannot cede culture to the left. On the contrary, we should be creating demand for culture that supports our values and builds a nation based on them. Private initiative of cultural figures, artists, and creators, who can operate independently of state institutions, has a particular role to play here - wrote Krzysztof Bosak on social media.

Konserwatywna część społeczeństwa nie może oddać kultury lewicy. Przeciwnie, powinniśmy kreować popyt na kulturę, która wspiera nasze wartości i buduje naród, który się na nich opiera.

- We have signals that some drones prepared for provocations, for example against the Polish oil platform in the Baltic Sea, are launching from ships, units of the shadow fleet, which means we must also be prepared for tough measures. I think it is high time to consider, if necessary, direct actions against them [simultaneous translation by TVP Info] - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Helsinki.

- Poland contributes a great deal to the security of the Eastern flank. We protect the border with Russia and Belarus. In doing so, we utilize EU instruments. I believe we can announce today that Europe has finally understood that its eastern border, the protection of the eastern border, is a shared responsibility. It is not solely the duty of Poland, Finland, or Lithuania; it is a common European task and a common European responsibility. We are ready to jointly lead the Eastern flank coalition with Finland - Donald Tusk said at a press conference in Helsinki.

- Together with our partners from the region, we are responding to the security challenges facing Europe in light of Russia's aggressive behavior. During the meeting, we discussed how we can be effective in setting the right pace for the Union's work and how to support the guaranteed financing of the key Eastern Flank project and Poland's Eastern Shield - said Donald Tusk at a press conference in Helsinki.

- I think it's too early to say anything concrete about possible American guarantees. They sounded very promising, compared to previous talks, that Americans are ready to present hard guarantees, but it would be an exaggeration if I said we know everything about the specific details. But there was clear progress, we are a little more optimistic when it comes to my country [simultaneous translation by TVP Info] - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Helsinki.

"Old PR trick – attributing others' decisions and successes to oneself. The government's project to expire the special provisions for refugees from Ukraine is an effect of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration's work, not any 'pressure.' In line with the EC's recommendations, after March 4, 2026, citizens of Ukraine will be treated like other foreigners. This is a natural step after integration, not a political legend." – wrote Karolina Gałecka, spokesperson for the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, on X.

This is a response to a post by Paweł Szefernaker, who previously wrote: "The government is preparing a change of course and a transition to general rules for the functioning of foreigners in Poland. There is a project to expire the solutions resulting from the act on aid to citizens of Ukraine. The veto pressure is working!".

"If a brawl in the woods is more patriotic than participating in a war against the USSR, then I am waiting for the President's initiative to build a Monument to the Unyielding Football Fan. Photos from police arrests of these individuals could serve as a backdrop. Drugs, pimping, extortion..." - wrote Marcin Kierwiński on X.

This is a reference to the words of Karol Nawrocki from an interview for WP. The President was asked in it about Radosław Sikorski's statement on the program "Didaskalia". The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that they both had "chivalrous experiences" in life: he in Afghanistan, and the president in the woods. Nawrocki commented on this in WP with the words: "him in Afghanistan with a camera, and me in the woods with my fists? If Minister Sikorski feels like a knight, then I must congratulate him on his well-being."

Skoro ustawka w lesie jest bardziej patriotyczna niż udział w wojnie przeciwko ZSRR, to czekam na inicjatywę Pana Prezydenta budowy Pomnika Kibola Niezłomnego. Za tło mogą robić zdjęcia z policyjnych zatrzymań tych osobników. Narkotyki, stręczycielstwo, wymuszenia...

"Zbigniew Z.'s passport has been revoked by the decision of the Mazovian Voivode Mariusz Frankowski, at the request of the National Prosecutor's Office" - informed the Minister of Interior and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński.

"Nobody will escape responsibility" - he added.

- I spoke about this this morning with some leaders – what is an authentic achievement of our work in Berlin and in the days leading up to the meeting in Berlin is that we are finally sitting together on one side: Americans, Ukrainians, and Europe – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press briefing in Helsinki, before the summit of Eastern Flank countries.

- This can increase the effectiveness of our pressure on Russia, when it comes to a ceasefire, and in the long term, ending the war. But as I said, this is still a very, very complicated process – he noted.

- I believe everyone in our country has also understood that securing the eastern flank, together with countries that border Russia or have problems in the Baltic Sea, like Sweden with Russia, should involve cooperation - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press briefing in Helsinki, before the Eastern Flank Summit.

"They Realistically Reduce the Threat from Russia"

- I participate in these meetings with great satisfaction. They truly and realistically reduce the threat from Russia. They also help Poland, Finland, and other countries in this format, I am referring here to Sweden, and of course the Baltic states; they also help us utilize European funds for the protection of our eastern border - the Prime Minister continued.

- As you know, we in Poland were the first to start building the "Tarcza Wschód" (Eastern Shield) in connection with the war in Ukraine and the Russian threat. We are currently investing billions of zlotys in this. It was very important for us that this be a common [unclear word - ed.] European initiative, and this format, which includes Scandinavian and Baltic countries, as well as Poland, and also Romania, greatly facilitates action on the international stage regarding support for this initiative - he continued.

"The Goal is to Build the Most Modern Anti-Drone Wall"

- Our goal is to build the most modern, effective anti-drone wall, a wall saturated with technology, so that the threat from Russia is not as troublesome as it is currently - emphasized the head of the Polish government.

- President Karol Nawrocki was clear: the indefinite extension of special conditions for war refugees from Ukraine must end. The regulations that were essential when the wave of refugees arrived in Poland now need to be phased out - wrote Paweł Szefernaker on social media.

- In August, there was a veto, and after introducing the 800Plus benefit only for working foreigners, the signature was given solely to avoid chaos. With a clear message: "last time" - emphasized the Head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland.

- The effect? The government is preparing to change course and transition to general principles for the functioning of foreigners in Poland. There is a project to phase out the solutions arising from the Act on Assistance to Citizens of Ukraine. Veto pressure is working! - wrote Szefernaker.

Prezydent Karol Nawrocki mówił jasno: koniec z przedłużaniem w nieskończoność szczególnych warunków dla uchodźców wojennych z Ukrainy. Przepisy, które były niezbędne, jak do Polski ruszyła fala uchodźców, dziś trzeba wygasić.

Marek Siwiec announced on the PR3 program "Bez uników" (Without Evasion) that on Wednesday, when the vote on the veto to the so-called 'chain law' takes place, a dog will appear in the Sejm.

- There will be a dog that has been terribly experienced by life [...], who will not participate in the deliberations, because that is impossible, but we have invited the dog's caretakers who proposed this - said the head of the Chancellery of the Sejm.

- We want people to be able to see it - I advise against petting it, because it is an animal with its own dignity - but to see an animal that was terribly beaten by its owner, miraculously saved. It is alive today through its own strength. It is blind, but it lives - he continued.

- We know how to pull together during campaigns, to work in one direction, and that's why, as the Deputy Chairman of PiS, I propose the formation of such a nearly electoral staff, which will be represented by different currents within our environment. This is a constructive answer to your question. Those that glance somewhere towards the right side, those that look at the current that interests people the most, namely the economic, wallet-focused one - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- If we were to establish such a staff, it would allow us to coordinate this communication policy, to anticipate, to get ahead of certain events - he continued.

- A special expert group has been established in the Chancellery of the Sejm, during our term, in the Office of Expertise and Regulatory Impact Assessment. [...] This is a group that will create such a qualification for every bill - said Marek Siwiec in the program “Bez uników” on PR3.

- This qualification will consist of three elements. The first is financial consequences, actually economic consequences, [...] legal consequences, and social consequences. And with such a qualification, it will only then go to the Marshal, who has numerous options for how to behave towards such a project - he explained.

"If a project receives an extremely negative assessment, there is no reason for it to enter the procedure"

- Because if a project receives an extremely negative assessment, there is no reason for it to enter the parliamentary procedure. Because this procedure means the involvement of dozens of MPs for several, even several dozen weeks, which often happens, in work that is doomed to a negative vote, to disaster - he pointed out.

- So it's not about an automatic process: either we freeze it, or we let everything through. That is a comfortable approach, both are unacceptable. The point is that there should be a very balanced and wise qualification for those projects that come from outside the government. I will mention that what comes from the government is always accompanied by a commentary on legal and economic consequences, the so-called OSR [Regulatory Impact Assessment - ed.] - he noted.

- A few days ago, in this studio with Ms. Holecka, I said that now is not a good time to talk about who will be a minister, who will be prime minister. Why are two gentlemen from the leadership suddenly bringing up these topics in October, in September? Why are they bringing up these topics? It is truly irresponsible and unnecessary - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- We know perfectly well who has contacts with which journalists. All you have to do is trace those contacts and answer the question why this gentleman or that one immediately constructed such a narrative, which, by the way, is known to be manipulated - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- I will remain with this puzzle out of a concern for the cohesion of our camp, but if someone continues to play various games, I will always be loyal to our party and will show what the truth is, loyal to all my colleagues, and secondly or thirdly, I will reveal, show, what the reality is in this regard - he continued.

- Coalition capability is precisely when a party is sufficiently cohesive, but also sufficiently open to extend a hand to this or that coalition partner, and sufficiently broad, meaning cohesive, open, but also broad, multi-stranded - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- When was PiS at its strongest? How we won the 2019 elections. I will start with such questions and answer them. Then, when we were representing both the developmental path, an innovative Poland, rapid development, social policy, a sound budget - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- The Poles noticing the connection between developmental policy and their own wallets, while maintaining a policy of identity, faith in Poland, pride in Poland, love for Poland's history, all that I also have, similar to my biography from the 80s and 90s - he continued.

- I think that those who want to teach me today what right-wing politics or independence is, should look at their own biographies. We won then, we had the best result in the history of democratic elections in Poland, overall, not only in the Third Republic, but also in the Second Republic. What happened in 2023? We also won those elections, despite great crises, COVID, the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis, we had 35.5%, even slightly above. Today, everyone from PiS would say: if we had such a result, I would take it without a second thought. Everyone would want even better, but 35.5% compared to today's 28% is really a good result after those cataclysms - emphasized the former prime minister.

- The Marshal [Włodzimierz Czarzasty] spoke in a colorful and highly communicative way – the fact that it resonated with the public opinion amidst the informational cloud surrounding us, […] proves that he spoke well, that someone paid attention to it – in my opinion, this message was meant to elaborate on something that shouldn't have been elaborated on, because it's clear – said Marek Siwiec in the program “Bez uników” on PR3.

He referred in this way to Czarzasty's words from the weekend.

- It simply boils down to the fact that if we, the coalition – and he spoke on behalf of the coalition – encounter malice in the form of vetoing obvious laws that are good for Poles, then we will treat what the Presidential Palace proposes, what President Karol Nawrocki proposes to Poles, with similar malice – he indicated.

- I recently found out that Mr. Dobrzyński apparently joined ORMO in 1986. Let me remind you, ORMO was the Voluntary Reserve of the Citizens' Militia at a time when we were being beaten with batons by ZOMO, by the militia. Mr. Dobrzyński joined ORMO precisely to beat up the oppositionists of that time. These are that type of people - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- The gigantic Smolensk tragedy, what happened on April 10, 2010, is very close to both you and me. What did Mr. Kurski say about this great tragedy when he was planning his betrayal, and which betrayal occurred in 2011? Did he stab President Kaczyński and PiS in the back? What was he saying in the following months, years about the Smolensk tragedy? I think such a person should really be able to bite their tongue - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- The problem simply lies in the fact that on the side of the President's administration, I see - I want to be very delicate - elements of chaos and a lack of internal information flow [regarding the MiG-29s for Ukraine] - Marek Siwiec said on the program "Bez uników" (No Evasions) on PR3.

- If I were to assess goodwill today, the president is a new president, and I see no goodwill on the part of the president and his administration when it comes to resolving Polish matters. Unfortunately, I don't see it, I say this with regret - he stated.

- It's good that Mr. Borys Budka has confirmed the leak from the services with his statement, hasn't he? Because he falsified this very strange thesis of Mr. Dobrzyński. As for the fact itself, the Supreme Medical Chamber has probably spoken most strongly on this matter, and it's worth all Poles listening to doctors rather than Mr. Budka, Mr. Dobrzyński, or politicians - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- The services have also started, I believe, playing their own various games. We know that the services unfortunately have a tendency to do so, and for me, this implies that a very deep review of the services will be necessary, who is responsible for what, from where, from which desk the document leaked to the media, what the current Prime Minister Mr. Tusk used to destroy his political opponents - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- It's hard to comment on this otherwise than by saying that the services are once again being used to the highest degree for political games. Just as the President said, during the election campaign, when operational materials are leaked directly from the services or the prosecution to journalists, who then turn it into a scandal intended to harm the candidate for president then, and today the head of the National Security Bureau - stated Mateusz Morawiecki on TV Republika.

- I will always believe, regardless of the emotions they evoke, that the heads of the National Security Bureau have evoked, that it is an important institution, and for me, depriving this institution of the ability to act in any way is something reprehensible. For me, the fact that we are discussing the pills that the head of the BBN takes or does not take is something openly contrary to the significant area we should be discussing - said Marek Siwiec in the program "Bez uników" (Without Evasion) on PR3.

According to the Head of the Chancellery of the Sejm: - Writing about other people's pills, about other people's relationships, getting into their beds under the covers, and so on, in the context of important politics is disgusting to me, I used that word, it is unproductive.

- It is difficult for me to imagine a coalition with those responsible for Mr. Braun's rising popularity - said Marcin Kierwiński on RMF FM, when asked if he could "imagine a grand coalition with some PiS politicians that would protect Poland from the brown tide".

- No, PiS politicians. You see, I won't attribute it, whether it's Morawiecki or Kaczyński, the entire PiS is responsible, they bred politicians like Mr. Braun, and from the ranks of PiS, Mr. Sasin, a former Deputy Prime Minister, says he would form a coalition with Braun - he continued, when asked if Mateusz Morawiecki is responsible for this.

- I know that for their own particular interests and to gain power, they will enter into a coalition even with the devil, regardless of whether it is Morawiecki or Sasin, so I cannot imagine any arrangements or discussions about any coalition arrangement with them - he added.

- For me, it is obvious that politicians like Mr. Braun should not have a place in Polish social life. These are politicians who threaten Poland's raison d'état. And anyone is better than a Russophile - said Marcin Kierwiński on RMF FM, when asked who poses a greater threat to Poland: Grzegorz Braun or Karol Nawrocki.

- Even though [...] I am light-years apart from Mr. Nawrocki, from Mr. Kaczyński, I would never allow myself such a suggestion, such a statement, as President Nawrocki made - he continued.

- What must be going on in one's head to compare a guest who preaches hatred, ordinary hate speech, with the Polish Prime Minister? - he went on to say.

- Yes. I have no doubts about it [...] I don't want to say a chance, there are prospects for this, maybe let's put it that way - he added, when asked if there is any chance at all that Braun's party could be dissolved.

- Lies regarding Polish history, spreading hatred, aggression, hate speech, and statements also contrary to Poland's raison d'état - he emphasized, when asked about the grounds.

- Yes, even consultations in this regard are taking place and this bill will be presented soon - said Marcin Kierwiński in RMF FM, when asked about the bill concerning the granting of citizenship, which the Ministry of Interior and Administration (MSWiA) is to present.

- At the consultations we organized [...] a representative of the president also participated, and to be clear, because I also want to say this, as I believe cooperation between the government and the president is essential in this regard, we will consult the solutions that are better than those proposed by the president with the president's services, if it is possible to consult anything - he continued.

- I think within the next few weeks - he went on to say, when asked when these better solutions would be available.

- We spoke primarily about the fact that these will be solutions concerning a thorough check of every person applying for Polish citizenship, i.e., checking the degree of assimilation, knowledge of Polish culture, Polish language, Polish tax residency. We want people applying for Polish citizenship to be permanently connected with Poland for many, many years, and we want them to want to locate their future in Poland - he added.

- Why would it be worse than a PSL-PO coalition? All I want is for us to compare. We have a smaller coalition partner here, who is rather conservative in economic policy. The current PSL minister of agriculture, I believe, unlike his predecessor, wants to take land from former state-owned farms (PGRs) that was leased out effectively, into state ownership - said Leszek Balcerowicz on "Gość Radia Zet".

- It's hard for me to imagine such a situation, however, I want to say that I note with appreciation this praiseworthy exception in a situation where the two largest parties, PiS and PO, are competing in social handouts, disregarding, in my opinion, the consequences. Secondly, polls, as far as I know, indicate that a large portion of PO supporters understand the dangers associated with the state of public finances, so this type of strategy by Mentzen has a chance of attracting voters - said Leszek Balcerowicz on "Gość Radia Zet".

- Frankly, I am not very interested in what PiS rambles about - said Marcin Kierwiński in the "Morning Interview" on RMF FM, when asked about PiS accusing Polish services of leaking information concerning Sławomir Cenckiewicz.

- There is no consent for such information to leak from any proceedings, that's the first thing. But with high probability, I can say with certainty, that they did not leak from there - he continued.

- Please remember the article in Rzeczpospolita from October, where quite a few details were provided, and Mr. Cenckiewicz reacted enthusiastically to that text at the time - he continued.

- Yes, Minister Siemoniak announced it, but I am convinced that the information, to which paradoxically a very, very large number of people have access, because these are data that are also part of the investigation [...] I am convinced that they did not leak from Polish services - he added, when asked about the investigation in this matter.

- No, these are diversionary tactics [a small round table for the right-wing in Poland, concerning the Senate]. I believe we should focus on properly scrutinizing what the government is doing. PiS should stop concerning itself with itself, its factions, pacts, and the division of positions and mandates in the Senate. I would prefer to hear what the current senators from this party are doing; they have almost half of the chamber, what are these people doing there? - stated Krzysztof Bosak on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- I believe there has never been a true partnership between Poland and Ukraine. It has been a tough rivalry. Why? Because Ukrainians never needed this partnership. They are simply pursuing their tough policy of their own interests. This was the case before the war, and it is the case during the war, and I fear it will also be the case after the war - stated Krzysztof Bosak in "Graffiti" on Polsat News.

- For now, I'm probably not [optimistic after yesterday's meeting on Ukraine]. I think we need to look at it calmly. We have an inflation of international meetings, and so far, nothing has come of them - stated Krzysztof Bosak in an interview with Marcin Fijołek on Polsat News's "Graffiti".

- Even a 24-hour ceasefire seems to me that politicians involved in these talks would very much like to, so to speak, beg for some success in the media, but the Russian leader is not very gracious to them and, so to speak, makes them wait a long time at his door. What will come of it – nobody knows - the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm continued.

- It is the same as the previous government's, meaning PiS. There are huge differences in foreign policy, huge differences regarding the rule of law, which I say is for the better. However, unfortunately, when it comes to financial or budgetary policy, it is a continuation - said Leszek Balcerowicz on "Gość Radia Zet".

Prime Minister Donald Tusk will participate in the Eastern Flank Summit in Helsinki. His arrival is scheduled for 10:00 AM Polish time, followed by a working session titled "EU Support for Eastern Flank States" at 10:15 AM, and a family photo at 11:00 AM.
