It will begin with a congratulation ceremony in the courtyard of the Presidential Palace, followed by private negotiations and negotiations with delegations. Then a meeting with people – Ukrainians and Poles,” she said in a commentary to the PAP agency..

“While the issue of openness of the courtyard is being resolved, this is not a decision of the Office of the President,” said a representative of Duda’s administration.

As for the topics of the presidents’ negotiations, it is known in advance that they will talk about the NATO summit, the economy, the upcoming restoration of Ukraine, and there will also be “historical issues”. Also, one of the topics will be the issue of an agreement on good neighborly relations between Ukraine and Poland..
