WARSAW, January 16 (RIA Novosti) - Warsaw sees no need to hold three-way talks involving Russia on U.S. plans to deploy missile defense elements in Poland, the country's foreign minister said on Wednesday.
Washington wants to place 10 missile interceptors in Poland and a radar in the neighboring Czech Republic, purportedly to counter a missile threat from Iran and other "rogue" states.
"As far as I understand it, the United States is satisfied with our contacts on the issue with Russia," said Radoslaw Sikorski, who is set to visit Moscow next week.
Moscow fiercely opposes the U.S. plans, saying the European shield would destroy the strategic balance of forces and threaten Russia's national interests.
Last Thursday Warsaw hosted the first Polish-Russian consultations on Washington's missile shield plans in Central Europe.
