26/04/2011 (Agence Europe) - Warsaw sends Walesa. Poland, which is to take on the rotating presidency of the EU Council of Ministers during the second half of this year, has called on Lech Walesa, the former president of Poland and historic leader of the Solidarnosc movement, to be in Tunisia this week (28-30 April) to share his know-how with that country on how to achieve a controlled transition to democracy. Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski “asked me to go there as the Nobel Peace Prize winner 1983, because the country is in deep crisis. I was successful in resolving a deep crisis here, so I am being called upon to seek to resolve the conflicts over there”, Walesa told AFP. Warsaw considers the political troubles in North Africa will be a major challenge for its European term of presidency. (H.B./transl.jl)
