Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga affirmed on Wednesday that anti-missile shield negotiations with the United States "are in progress."
"I see no slowdown in this process," Fotyga was quoted by Polish PAP news agency as saying.
Wednesday edition of Polish Dziennik daily said that the decision on the building of elements of the US anti-missile defense system in Poland will be taken by the new government. Washington has slowed down the pace of negotiations as it did not want to strike a deal with a team which may lose power, the paper said, basing on information from unofficial sources.
Fotyga said that she "has a deep conviction that the new government following elections will be headed by Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski."
Fotyga added that at this time it is difficult to say when the sides concerned will conclude the negotiations.
The United States wants to deploy part of its anti-missile shield in eastern Europe, a radar system in the Czech Republic and a missile interceptor site in Poland. Polish-U.S. talks on the possible deployment have been going on since May this year.
Poland's parliamentary election is set to be held on Oct. 21.
