Even as much as PLN 78.5 bln - this is how much higher than planned state budget revenues may be in 2021. The Council of Ministers adopted an amendment to this year's budget to continue the support for the economic growth of Poland. Additional funds will be allocated, among others, to healthcare services, road and railway investments, as well as to support for people with disabilities. In addition, more funds will reach farmers to support their combat against ASF, as well as to local governments – among others, for investment in waterworks and sewage systems.

The Polish Government is seeking an amicable resolution of the dispute with the Czech Republic and respects the interests of the local community. Today's ruling stands in contrast to this amicable resolution of the issue.
