Poland's President to begin visit of Ukraine

WARSAW, April 19 (Itar-Tass) - Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski
is expected to make a one-day visit to Ukraine Tuesday.
The press service of the Ukrainian presidential chancellery told
Itar-Tass that Komorowski is due to have talks with President Viktor
Yanukovich.
After that, he will take part in an international conference "25 Years

are going to discuss at their bilateral meeting.
"The two presidents are expected to meet at 14:00 hours local time,"
an official said. "After that they will go to the summit devoted to a safe
use of nuclear power."
"At night, Stanislaw Komorowski will attend a concert devoted to the
victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster," the Polish press agency said
Monday quoting sources at the Polish embassy in Kiev.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visited Ukraine with a working visit
last week. As he met with Prime Minister Nikolai Azarov, he reiterated
Poland's all-out support for Warsaw's plan as regard European integration.
"From Poland's angle of view, Ukraine' aspirations are quite
legitimate," he said, promising to give Ukraine assistance along the way
to integration.
"We'd like to see to it that the Polish term of the EU's rotating
presidency should become a moment in the history of Europe where the EU's
expansion reaches the next and more advanced a stage."
About 50 foreign delegations are going to attend the events dedicated
to the 25th anniversary since the Chernobyl power unit blast. Apart form
Komorowski, the presidents of Hungary, Croatia, Switzerland, and
Kazakhstan are going to come.
At this moment 29 countries are acting as financial donors helping the
Ukrainian government to eliminate the aftermaths of that disaster.
By the end of 2010, the EU countries' contributions to the Chernobyl
funds for eliminating the aftermath of the incident stood at over 417
million euros.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso said the commission
is going to allocate an additional 110 million euros for construction of a
new encasement above the site of the 1986 tragedy.
