(WARSAW) - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk visits Germany Friday, where he holds talks with European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pottering, the Polish government said.

Tusk will also participate in a youth debate on European policy in Lower Saxony, the government said in a statement Thursday.

The head of Poland's liberal party is staunchly pro-European, in contrast to conservative President Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother Jaroslaw, the country's former prime minister.
