  -In principle, and Komorowski, and Duda’s relations with Russia are similar – there are no fundamental differences, both are critical of Russia. Basically line in the Polish-Russian relations will not change: they would like to further develop mutually beneficial economic relations, especially since Poland Russia still an important partner, as in politics, of course, a course of Russian foreign policy, they do not like. But they are, as I understand it, there will be about the same to continue as it was.
