In a strategic move, Poland is preparing to enhance its fuel infrastructure by linking its pipelines with NATO's network. On Friday, Polish pipeline operator PERN will ink a preliminary agreement with a unit of the nation's defense ministry, aiming to incorporate Poland into NATO's fuel pipeline system.

The NATO network, dating back to the Cold War, spans across central Europe, ending several hundred kilometers from Polish territory. Poland's connection to this network has been a long-standing goal, and the deal represents a significant step towards achieving this.

The initiative will also see the construction of fuel storage facilities for NATO's military needs, a move the defense ministry believes will boost Poland's resilience to fuel-related challenges and fortify its role within NATO.
