.Poland's leaders back appeal to Obama over Russia
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - Poland's prime minister and president say they back an appeal by former Eastern European leaders to President Barack Obama urging him not to overlook them as he pursues better ties with Russia.
Thursday's appeal came in a letter signed by a group of 22 prominent leaders including former presidents Lech Walesa of Poland and Vaclav Havel of the Czech Republic. They say that Russia continues to challenge their sovereignty 20 years after the Cold War's end.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Friday his government shares the views in the letter, which voiced anxiety that the U.S. is losing interest in the region and that its interests could be hurt as Obama works on ties with Russia.
President Lech Kaczynski says he shares the same fears.
