European Commission representatives are to announce on Friday that Brussels has unblocked COVID-19 recovery funds for Poland, its prime minister Donald Tusk said on Thursday.
“Tomorrow we will hear from European Union representatives that Poland has finally had National Recovery Plan funds unblocked,” he told the parliament.
European Commission (EC) President Ursula Von der Leyen plans to visit Warsaw on Friday along with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.
Poland’s previous Law and Justice (PiS) party government was embroiled in a dispute with the EU over judicial reforms and alleged erosion of rule-of-law standards, resulting in billions of EU funds for Poland being frozen.
The new government led by Tusk has pledged to regain access to the money through dialogue with the EC and reforms in Poland.
