About Poland

Republic of Poland – state in Central Europe, is a member of EU and NATO. Recently Poland has  significantly expanded its role and strengthened its position in its relations with Europe and the West supporting and establishing friendly relations with the Western world as well as with other European states.

 

The Polish government was planning to cancel the zloty in 2012 and to introduce the euro in the country. Poland still can not get out on the financial and economic indicators, which are required to enter into the European Union common currency area. This applies to the size of the deficit of the state budget, as well as the stability of the national currency.
