Elżbieta Krajewska reports that energy fuel imports and a return to the gas pipeline project linking Norway and Poland featured prominently in the talks Beata Szydło had with her host Erna Solberg.

"We would be in a different position were the project been completed,” remarked Janusz Steinhoff, a former economy minister, in an interview with Polish Radio.

“For all these years Poland had been paying dearly for lack of alternatives to import gas from other sources [than Russia],” he added.
