Wspólne miejsce narodów Europy Wschodniej

We are opening the SHOW-WINDOW [in Polish: WITRYNA] in the premises at Plac Konstytucji 6 [6, Constitution Square] in Warsaw, through which you will be able to see what the Eastern House - a place given to the East of Europe on its road to freedom - is meant to be.

It is to be a specific place in Poland, but most of all it is an idea - essential to be implemented in the coming years – of an effective historical and contemporary dialogue between the peoples of Eastern Europe, who were separated by the violent history of the 20th century, while the divisions between them were reinforced by the terrible reality of recent years and months.

The war must end with the complete victory of Ukraine, and then it will be necessary to build an Eastern Europe free from any temptation of tyranny, honouring democracy, the rule of law and human rights of every human being.
