Poland to push for 'dark' side to EU birthday text

Quote:

Poland wants the EU's upcoming 50th birthday declaration to mention the "dark" side of recent European history such as Communism and the Balkan wars, while hinting that changes to the EU voting system could become a Polish red line in future talks on the new EU constitution.

Poland pushing its luck, or standing up for itself
