WARSAW, Jan 20: Poland will uphold its veto on talks for a new partnership agreement between the European Union and Russia until Moscow lifts its ban on Polish meat imports, Warsaw's Agriculture Minister Andrzej Lepper said on Saturday. “As things stand today -- and I talked to Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski late yesterday -- Poland will not withdraw its veto right now,” Lepper, who is also deputy prime minister, told a news conference in the northern city of Bydgoszcz.—Reuters
