Concept and implementation of the eastern energy security policy of President Lech Kaczyński in 2005–2010

Abstract

The aim of the article is to present the political concept of Lech Kaczyński in terms of ensuring gas security and, more broadly, energy policy during his 2005–2010 presidency. The issues of political cooperation of this statesman will be discussed here, both within international organizations, such as GUAM, and within the framework of international bilateral relations. The work also answers the question about the possibility of implementing this policy in the context of Poland’s geopolitical position (proximity to Russia) and its impact on the GUAM countries or Kazakhstan.
