CEI Must Shift the Centre to Non-EU Members, Polish PM Says

Warsaw, 21 November - After 1 May 2004, when five members of the Central European Initiative will enter the EU, the centre of activities of the 17-member partnership will have to shift to the non-EU member states of the CEI, Polish PM Leszek Miller told the press as the CEI summit wrapped up Friday. The MPs, including Slovenia's Anton Rop, expressed firm belief that EU enlargement would continue so that more CEI states would be able to join after 2007.
