President Kaczyński failed to make Poland independent from Russian oil

Kazakhstan was expected to help Poland become independent from Russian oil. The Kazakhs want to invite Russians to cooperate, however.

Yesterday in Kazakhstan, talks started between the president of Poland Lech Kaczynski and the president of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev. Thanks to closer economic relations with the country, Poland hoped to get independence from Russian oil. Unfortunately, the first signals from Kazakhstan are discouraging. Kazakhstan president said that the Russians should be invited to take part in the Odessa-Brody pipeline and the import of Kazakh oil to Poland.

Just after the talks ended, yesterday in the evening, Russian Prime Minister Michail Fradkov was supposed to arrive to Kazakhstan. A day earlier, PKN Orlen representatives who are visiting Kazakstan with the president, learnt that Kazmunaigaz, the state-owned local oil giant, was not going to sign contracts with the Poles during the president’s visit.
