Polish PM Donald Tusk and Ukrainian PM Julia Tymoshenko assured, Friday,
that they will keep to the terms promised when their countries were awarded
a co-hosting role in staging the EURO 2012.
"I am happy that UEFA experts, after their visit to Ukraine and Poland,
have concluded that both countries have improved preparations [to host]
EURO 2012", said the Ukrainian prime minister after a meeting between
her and PM Tusk in Kiev on Friday.
She expressed her hopes that at next week's UEFA session, the Executive
Committee will make positive decision for Poland-Ukraine EURO 2012 preparations.
The long awaited report considering the progress made by both countries,
at times heavily criticised over lacklustre progress to stage the football
championships, will be sent to UEFA's Executive Committee next week.
PM Donald Tusk thanked the Ukrainians for their diligent and vigorous
cooperation in the preparations to the Euro 2012 football championships.
He was accompanied by deputy PM and Internal Minister Grzegorz Schetyna,
Minister of Sport Miroslaw Drzewiecki, Minister of Infrastructure Cezary
Grabarczyk and Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski.
Donald Tusk stressed that the joint organisation of the Euro 2012 is very
important for mutual relations between Poland and Ukraine. He added that
the preparations are being done at a good pace.
Both prime ministers expressed strong support of her cabinet for the Georgian
territorial integrity and plans to quickly end Russia-Georgia war.
"Our governments in the future will do what they can to restore 'status
quo' from before the conflict", said Tymoshenko.
