Mikheil Saakashvili is attending the celebration of Polands three happy anniversaries falling in 2014: 25 years of freedom, 15 years of NATO membership and 10 years in the European Union, Polish citizens bear in mind those who are still struggling for change in their countries. We are also sharing our democratic transition experiences. For this reason Radosław Sikorski, Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs, has come up with the idea of the Lech Wałęsa Solidarity Prize. The Solidarity Prize should recall that Poland was where everything began, that it was Polands Solidarity which started to tear down walls that eventually tumbled down, emphasised Minister Sikorski at the laureate announcement ceremony in May. The first laureate- Mustafa Dzhemilev, leader of the Crimean Tatar Movement—will receive it from the hands of President Bronisław Komorowski in Warsaw on 3 June. The ceremony will be attended by Lech Wałęsa, former Polish President and Solidaritys famous leader, and many distinguished guests, including United States President Barack Obama.
