Speaking at a press conference Friday morning Prime Minister Donald Tusk drew attention to the the 5 billion euro plan of supporting energy related projects. He called it the first instance of financing joint EU projects the aim of which is real diversification of energy supplies and practical energy security of the Union as one entity. A case in point would be listing the Nabucco pipeline project. Poland, too, can count on 330 million euro from this anti-crisis energy package.

Also, a no small reason for satisfaction has been the financial support of some 600 million euro pledged for the Eastern Partnership, a project initiated by Poland together with Sweden.
Another topic raised during the Brussels summit has been EU assistance to Afghanistan. Here, too, the Warsaw government was the founder of the idea to launch a Group of European Union Friends of Afghanistan to work jointly with the United States on a war recovery plan for that country.
