25 years later, Poland relishes sweet taste of freedom

On 4 June, Poland marked the 25th anniversary of the first partially free elections which helped bring down the Berlin Wall five months later. This was an occasion for celebration, but also for reflection about achievements and missed opportunities.

In Poland, the celebrations were marked, but also overshadowed, by the presence of US President Barack Obama, who visited Warsaw on his way to Brussels for the G7 summit.
