He emphasized that the key to this is to show the unity of the North Atlantic Alliance.

"The EU is primarily a community. Different points of view should be taken into account, but they can lead to internal divisions. Password of unity in diversity is the key to ensure that the EU was a community" - said presidential minister .

Szczerski expressed hope that the visit of President of Italy will leave two messages political: firstly the "unity, decisiveness and versatility of the NATO summit in Warsaw," a second message that community within the EU between countries with diverse looks is key to preserve the feeling "that we operate in a common environment policy that Poland and Italy are in the same family member and the family is solidarity."

The expected themes of the Summit is a response to the threat from the east and south, including the decisions on increasing the military presence on the eastern outskirts of the alliance, as well as the further expansion of NATO.
