Official: Poland well prepared to join Schengen zone

WARSAW, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Poland's outgoing Interior Minister Wladyslaw Stasiak said here Friday that EU experts had very well assessed the state of Poland's preparations for entering the Schengen zone.

"It was a great challenge and a great effort by many people for Poland to be assessed in a positive way," Stasiak was quoted as saying by Polish PAP news agency.

On Thursday EU internal affairs ministers decided on the enlargement of the Schengen zone by nine new EU countries, including Poland.

Joining the zone means above all in Poland's case the liquidation of passport control on internal borders with Germany, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Lithuania.
