Euronews launches Polish language news service with ceremony in Warsaw

Euronews has celebrated the launch of its Polish language service, the newest addition to Europe's leading multilingual news platform.

With a commitment to delivering trusted and impartial news, Euronews Poland said on Thursday it has started providing Polish-speaking audiences with essential coverage of global events and key stories shaping the world.

A formal ceremony was held in the capital Warsaw on Thursday an event that Euronews said coincided with Poland's presidency of the European Union.

The company said it offered a unique moment to reflect on Warsaw's role in shaping Europe's future and its contributions to a united, forward-thinking continent.

With its presidency, Poland is tasked with guiding the EU Council's work and representing all member states in negotiations with other EU institutions.

The presidency rotates among the EU's 27 member states every six months, with Hungary wrapping up its tenure in December.

Last month, Euronews chairman Pedro Vargas David stated that Euronews is now, "the biggest established newsroom covering European affairs."

Vargas David announced the channel's continued growth with the inauguration of the new Polish service on Warsaw-based television and digital platforms.

Around four Euronews franchise channels are expected to be launched this year, with the first two billed for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
