Poland supports the idea of combining the posts of President of the European Commission and President of the European Council, the Polish foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, announced on Tuesday 20 March. He added that whoever occupies this new post should be chosen “democratically”, either by the Parliament or “more broadly”.
