Romanian President-elect Nicusor Dan met Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw on Sunday, a week before the second round of the presidential election kicks off in Poland.
Two large marches in support of the two leading candidates—Rafał Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki—were set to take place in central Warsaw on Sunday.
Dan, the pro-European mayor of Bucharest, took part in the so-called "Great Patriots March" in support of Civic Coalition candidate Rafal Trzaskowski.
During a speech at the march, Dan stressed that he and Trzaskowski share the same values and priorities. Dan also said that countries cannot develop without a united EU and that he believes in a strong Poland in a strong EU.
He added that, as president of Romania, he would work closely with Rafał Trzaskowski and Tusk.
On 13 May, Romanian presidential candidate, nationalist George Simion, also came to Poland to support Law and Justice or PiS party-backed candidate Karol Nawrocki, Trzaskowski's opponent in the runoff next Sunday. On the same day, a march was held in support of Nawrocki in the Polish capital.
The second round of elections in Poland will take place on 1 June.
