Polish news website had reported that the Presidents of Romania, Serbia and Slovakia plan to boycott the invitation of the Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski to attend the CEE summit, where US President Barack Obama is also expected. The reason is that Kosovo leader Atifete Jahjaga was also invited - and Serbia, Slovakia and Romania have not recognized the independence of Kosovo.
The Presidential Administration in Bucharest has not yet issued an official stand in this regard.
