A week earlier, during a visit to the Moravian-Silesian region – neighbouring Poland and inhabited by the Polish number – Petr Pavel expressed a very affirmative opinion on his cooperation with president Andrzej Duda.
I must very much appreciate the constructive cooperation with president Duda. He announced that in the next fewer weeks he would come to say goodbye before the end of his term. In fundamental matters – abroad and safety policy – we were absolutely unanimous. As far as interior policy is concerned, of course I will not comment on it – not my function in this. My responsibilities focus mainly on abroad policy and I believe that the fresh Polish president will think as much as we do and rapidly find a common language – said in an interview with the Return portal.
