And Rzeszów is not only the central city in the south east of Poland, but it has the potential to be the most important gateway to the rapidly growing economy of Ukraine.

What is likely to trigger a period of accelerated economic growth is a key motorway that will be built as part of Poland's multi-billion euro preparations to co-host Euro 2012, the second most lucrative soccer tournament in the world.

The A4 motorway - which currently stretches from the German border and goes through Wroclaw, Katowice and Krakow - will be extended from Krakow to Rzeszów, and 90 km beyond to Korczowa on the Ukraine border.

Euro 2012 will have a significant impact on Poland's long-term economic development, mainly through huge infrastructure projects, many of which have been in the pipeline for many years, but without fixed completion dates. Now these will have completion deadlines.
