00:00 Addressing thousands of supporters in Warsaw on Tuesday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk
00:06 urged people to vote in this weekend`s European elections. He said the polls were crucial
00:10 to the country`s security as it faces increased tensions on its eastern border. Tusk said
00:16 a united Europe was the only way to avoid war in Poland.
00:20 "Believe me, in Kremlin, for them, any political gain in Brussels would be more important than
00:30 gain in Kharkov. This fight is about who will rule in Poland and now it`s about who will
00:38 rule in Europe. It`s also about war not to enter our borders."
00:44 The rally, at which people waved both Polish and EU flags, marked the 35th anniversary
00:50 of the 1989 elections, which brought an end to communist rule.
00:54 "I`m very worried about the outcome of these elections. I personally would like to be with
01:02 Europe and I can`t imagine a different future."
01:08 Last month, Tusk said Poland was investing over two billion euros to enhance security
01:12 along its border with Russia and Belarus. The EU vote in Poland takes place on Sunday.
