Baku, 12 January (AZERTAC). Foreign Minister of Poland Radoslaw Sikorski announced the staging of an Eastern Partnership summit in 2011 when Hungary followed by Poland will take over the presidency of the EU, Polish media reports.
The minister, speaking after a meeting with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Balazs in Budapest, recalled that during first Eastern Partnership summit in 2009 partners agreed that Hungary will chair the next summit while Poland will host a ministerial-level meeting.
