I spent several vacations in one of the spot next to Soviet boarder in this area of Poland. It was long time ago, but I am not surprised that Poland wanted to become independent: gcaptain.com/poland-opens-new-canal-to-bypass-russian-waters/Poland Opens New Canal To Bypass Russian WatersBloomberg (Bloomberg) –Poland opened a canal linking the Baltic Sea with a lagoon whose only previous entrance went through Russian territorial waters. The canal will eventually give seafaring vessels easier access to the city of Elblag but only once the lagoon is deepened and its port facilities enhanced. Critics have said the over-budget, 2.2 billion zloty ($467 million) project isn’t viable and is risky for the environment.

This is a very excellent commitment for Poland to complete, for this new canal should and most likely enhance maritime shipping as an enhancement of trade for peace time purposes. Although the statements of Mr. Kaczynski sounds more provocative then an announcement of completion of the project. In the manner of the concerns of Environmentalist, yes their concerns most likely are very valid, but then, the concerns of the state then must take precedence in this case.
