Poland is ready to send experts in gas issues as quick as on Thursday if such would be the will of Russia, Ukraine and the European Commission, Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told TVN24.
Sikorski said there was "a number of positive signals" of solving the gas crisis. He pointed out to a prospect that gas supplies for European customers would be resumed as soon as international observers visited the Russian-Ukrainian border and worked out control mechanisms.
According to Sikorski, Russia and Ukraine are interested in reaching an agreement as Russia wanted to be a credible gas producer and exporter and Ukraine willing to remain a credible transit country.
Referring to Polish President Lech Kaczynski's statement that Poland should take the Ukraine side in the gas conflict, the foreign minister replied that Poland should support Ukraine when the country speaks about the need of transparent terms of gas price fixing.
On the other hand, Russia also has the right to receive payments for gas on time, Sikorski added.
