What are Poland's interests in Russia? In principle, there are only THREE: [1] regulating the historical issues, [2] access to the Russian markets, and [3] supplies of Russian energy commodities.

And what are Russia's interests in Poland? Only ONE: dominating Poland's energy and fuel markets.

Has Poland ever think to get its oil from Central Asia? It is a little far, but there is one project to build an oil pipeline through Bulgaria from Central Asia, and it might be brought from the junction in Bulgaria through Ukraine and into Poland. That will allow Poland to rely less on Russian oil.

We must build pipeline from Polish Plock to Ukrainian city of Brody. I hope that when rightist will won elections they at last start to do something in this direction. Actually from few years we hear only plans. I read that both Ukrainians and Poles talking with the Kazakhs, the crucial partner in that deal.

You mean probably Bulgaria-Macedonia-Albania project? To be honest it is next potential threat, cause this pipe will suck Caspian oil, like Baku-Thibilisi-Ceyhan and Russian pipe from Kazakhstan. Question, is whether Kazakhstan is able to provide its oil to all pipes?
