This is going to be an enhanced cooperation. It's going to be an enduring presence, which hopefully will increase gradually in terms of the number of troops, but also in terms of infrastructure which is very important - Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland Editorial Dear Readers, he ninth issue of the quarterly opens with an article about the infrastructure project of strategic imperative for Poland – the construction of the Solidarity Transport Hub Central Airport. In the piece by the TSecretary of State and Government Plenipotentiary for the Central Communication Port, Minister Mikołaj Wild maintains that the project is a development impulse for Poland and Central Eastern Europe. The author emphasizes the construction of the port would enable an increase in passenger and cargo potential and would situate Poland on the leading passenger and freight routes, which has considerable importance for economic development and security of the region. In another part of the issue, the predicaments faced by the European Union are examined considering its internal challenges, such as a new composition of the European Parliament and European Commission, and external challenges – including the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.
