Warsaw - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said his government would approve a strategy for entry into the eurozone after meeting with an opposition party leader on Monday.

Tusk said the government had prepared a plan to enter the eurozone that would be accepted on Tuesday and later be presented to President Lech Kaczynski.

Tusk met with Law and Justice leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski and said there was a "clear difference of opinion" on when to switch currencies, with Kaczynski advocating an unspecified later date.

Tusk said he would continue talks with party officials and hoped they would change their minds.

Tusk had surprised many with a recent announcement that his government would work to adopt the euro by 2012.

He previously claimed the world financial crisis gave Poland more reason to adopt the currency, while Law and Justice has called for a referendum on the issue.

Tusk said he agreed with Kaczynski that Poland would "handle" the effects of the world financial crisis, and assured that Poland's banking system was in "good condition." (dpa)
