Poland's growing importance

The international attention Poland has garnered as a result of the plane crash proves that the country has become an important player in Europe, writes the conservative daily Dziennik Gazeta Prawna: "The balance of power has shifted in Europe. ... The disaster that struck the president's airplane on the way to Katyn has focused the entire world's attention on Warsaw. Not only because of the huge scope of this unexpected loss, but above all because Poland is one of the most important actors in Europe. Its fate is tied to the fate of the entire continent. And the tragedy has made it even more apparent that Poland is a responsible partner that must be taken seriously."
