She will also meet the Speaker of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, Mayor of Gdansk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz and representatives of civil society. On 1 September, she will take part in a ceremony at Westerplatte to commemorate the 82nd anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War. Pictures and video from the visit will be available on EbS.
