The Chairman of the Polish Parliament, Bronisław Komorowski met with Shimon Peres on the 10th of December 2009,as a part of his 3 day visit to Jerusalem. Two issues were discussed - the youth exchange and the restitution issue. Komorowski reiterated that young Israelis should not only visit the death camps and Holocaust sites but also meet with their Polish peers. He also noticed that on the Polish part, numerous pilgrims go to Israel to visit Christian holy sites, but very few are interested with the Jewish side of Israel.
Right now, 11 Polish students participate in an exchange program, studying for a semester at the Tel Aviv University.
Komorowski stated that the restitution rate is possible at the approximate rate of 25% of property value, paid back in several installments.
The meeting was supposed to have partially a private character.
