Sikorski on EU funds:

Our interest is to squeeze Brussels for as long as possible.

- I'll say something a bit contrarian again, perhaps you'll get a little annoyed, but maybe it's paradoxically even different. Maybe we are, in fact, when it comes to anti-EU sentiment, joining Europe a bit, because we were the most Euro-enthusiastic in Europe for years, and now we are kind of averaging out - stated Piotr Witwicki in "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

- I believe that we benefit exceptionally greatly from the Union. Because please note: we have very rapid economic growth, and despite this, we are still receiving EU funds to complete the modernization of our infrastructure - replied Radosław Sikorski.

- This, by chance, strongly annoys some in Europe, because every time you boast... - commented the host.

- They are annoyed that we are receiving money, and we are supposed to be anti-EU. You must admit that this is absurd - stated the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

- The question is whether we are in control of this. Because the British press writes so beautifully about us, and somewhere in Europe they wonder: why, if Poland is doing so well, are we still paying them - said the journalist.

- And our interest is to squeeze Brussels for as long as possible. Agreed? - said Sikorski.

- You have today's quote of the day - commented Witwicki.
