Radosław Sikorski

The heads of state of Bulgaria and Poland, Rosen Plevneliev and Bronislaw Komorowski have united around the idea that an energy union could boost the EU's security of supplies, Plevneliev's press office has said.

President Plevneliev is currently on a two-day official visit to Poland at the invitation of counterpart Komorowski which started Tuesday.

Polish ex-Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has responded to an article in a US magazine where he allegedly says Russia offered Poland to annex five Ukrainian provinces.

Sikorski wrote on Twitter some of his comments had been exaggerated, though he did not specify which ones.

Russia has sought to involve Poland in the partition of Ukraine, former Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told a US media outlet.

The new cabinet in Poland will try to improve ties with Moscow and Kiev, Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna has announced.

His comments for Polish media outlets come briefly after Ewa Kopacz was sworn in as the country's Prime Minister over the weekend, the Bulgarian National Radio reports.

Kristalina Georgieva, Bulgaria's EU Commissioner in charge of humanitarian aid, could take over as head of the bloc's foreign policy, the Financial Times wrote Sunday.

Fresh excerpts of a tapped conversation between Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski and a former Finance Minister have triggered another scandal involving the government.

In recording provided by Wprost, a news magazine, Sikorski is heard making insulting remarks on relations with Washington and British Prime Minister David Cameron's EU policies, the BBC reports.

Poland has nominated its Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski to become the next EU foreign policy chief.

The country's Prime Minister Donald Tusk was quoted by the BBC as saying that Sikorski would be a "natural candidate".

In Tusk's view, "Poland has gained such influence in foregn policy" that the position would be within the scope" of its interests.

Ukraine may sign the economic part of the EU association agreement on June 27, said EU Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy Commissioner Stefan Fule in Kiev. 

During his visit to the Ukrainian capital, he confirmed the European Parliament and the European Commission would support this step, reports Bulgaria's public broadcaster BNT. 

NATO's Foreign ministers agreed Tuesday to suspend civilian and military cooperation with Russia.

The decision does not scrap the NATO-Russia Council, but dialogue which was based on it could continue only "at ambassadorial level".

EU will "provide financial support" to Ukraine and help it with "securing energy supply".

The decision was announced by EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Baroness Catherine Ashton, at a press conference.

She underscored the EU's commitment to the financial stabilization of the country.
