At a joint press conference with the head of the EC, Tusk admitted that when they were heading to the place of its holding, they received information and recommendation from the security service to refuse to communicate with the media or change the location, because “Belarusian soldiers with rifles appeared” (Polish Prime Minister’s video was published on his page in x).
“Therefore, I asked the president what she thinks about this. Whether she was ready to participate in this conference in this place. And I heard the words that I wanted to hear, and for us here in Poland they were obvious: no concessions, no one would intimidate us here and would not worry. We are also here to show this real European determination,” said Tusk.
