Poland will be getting an additional billion euros from Brussels in the years 2011-2012, by way of a reward for the country’s dynamic economic growth in recent years.

According to so far unofficial information, substantial funds have been earmarked for Poland from a special 3-billion-euro fund for those countries that reported quicker economic development than Brussels expected.

 As well as Poland, money will be going to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Warsaw will be able to channel the additional funds to poorer regions, support infrastructure or environmental projects.
