WARSAW, May 8 (Xinhua) -- Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said Tuesday that the election of Nicolas Sarkozy as president of France will help improve Euro-Atlantic relations.

    "We are always glad when the right-wing is winning in Europe, but we have to wait to see what consequences such results will bring for Poland," Kaczynski told Polish Radio One Tuesday.

    "We hope that certain elements of the French foreign policy will at least be put under discussion," he said.

    Kaczynski expressed hope that Europe will "not be built around anti-Americanism."

    "It's an unwise idea, but such ideas do exist in Europe. One of the centers of such thinking was Paris," Kaczynski said, adding that if this changed it would be better for both Europe and Poland.

    Sarkozy, of the right-wing Union for a Popular Movement, won the French presidential run-off Sunday, scoring a victory over Segolene Royal of the left-wing Socialist Party. Sarkozy won over 53 percent of the vote against Royal's 47 percent.
