All key investments connected with the EURO 2012 football championships in Poland are being implemented as planned, claims sports minister Adam Giersz in Warsaw.

Giersz  - who updated the government with a progress report, Tuesday - said that over seventy percent of projects are being realised in accordance with the schedule.

The most problematic now is the stadium in Wroclaw but we are working on solving it effectively,” he told Polskie Radio. “The city authorities selected a new contractor and the stadium is to be completed by June 2011. I believe they will keep to this deadline and a year before EURO 2012 all the stadia will be ready for the players.”

Last December it was announced that an agreement with a new executor to build the Wroclaw stadium for UEFA Euro 2012 had been found after the local government in the southwestern city dismissed Mostostal Warszawa S.A.for falling seriously behind

The key investments necessary for staging EURO 2012 in Poland are in stadia and airports. UEFA is paying special attention to these facilities while monitoring the progress in this country.
