'Jarmark Europa' to close because of the European Cup

Poland's largest outdoor market, the 'Jarmark Europa' in Warsaw, where mainly Eastern Europeans and Asians offer their wares, is to be closed down. The market is held in the Dziesięciolecia football stadium, which will be cleared to make way for a new stadium for the 2012 European Cup. Weronika Mliczewska laments the closure of the bazaar, which attracted many immigrants. "When the name 'Jarmark Europa' was created no one expected so many people from other continents to come here. Once the stadium is closed down these groups of immigrants will look for other places in other cities where the cost of living is cheaper and there's less red tape. The closure of the stadium is therefore not just Warsaw's concern."
