A two-day energy summit opened in southern Poland's Cracow Friday, bringing together the presidents of Lithuania, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Poland, the Polish PAP news agency said.

    Polish President Lech Kaczynski, Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliev, Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko were due to hold talks at the Wawel castle.

    The talks will focus on plans for oil transportation through Ukraine to Poland and Germany and plans to extend the Odessa-Brody pipeline to Gdansk, the report said.

    The Odessa-Brody pipeline from Ukraine's Black Sea coast to thePolish-Ukrainian border was completed in 2002. An extension project to the Polish port of Gdansk would make it possible to deliver Caspian crude to Poland and then to other European states.

    A special presidential envoy of Kazakhstan also attended the meeting.

    A similar meeting will be held in Vilnius, capital of Lithuania, in the autumn.
