"We had a long talk on these theme", Polish President Alexander Kwasniewski told journalists at a press conference.
In his words, the Russian president told him about the political situation in Chechnya: the presidential elections that were held in the republic and the forthcoming parliamentary elections.
In the focus of the meeting was also the terrorist act in Beslan, Kwasniewski noted, and emphasized that Poland and Russia were determined to join efforts in fighting terrorism.
In the Polish president's words, also discussed at the meeting was the issue of refugees from Chechnya.
Kwasniewski spoke for the European Union's participation in the settlement of the Chechen problem.
Earlier the source in the Kremlin told RIA Novosti that discussed at the Russian-Polish talks "will be specific problems of interaction in the antiterrorist sphere."
"With the global support expressed for Russia in connection with the Beslan tragedy, a wide anti-Russian campaign unleashed in the Polish media which was backed up by a number of Polish officials was a serious dissonance," the source said.
In his turn official spokesman of the Russian foreign ministry Alexander Yakovenko noted that "the Polish leadership resolutely and unequivocally condemned the terrorist act in Beslan and expressed solidarity with Russia."
"At the same time," the diplomat said, "the Russian side drew the attention of the Polish side to the fact that against the background of compassionate reaction on the part of the Polish citizens there was certain anti-Russian bias in covering these events by the Polish media."
Polish President Alexander Kwasnieswski considers the dialogue between Moscow and Warsaw to be positive.
"It is better to talk than not to talk at all. A dialogue is better than no dialogue," Kwasniewski said at the press conference while commenting at the journalists' request on opinions voiced from the Polish side that his visit to Moscow was a waste of time.
Speaking about the results of the visit Kwasniewski said: "There were no turning points in the course of the visit. We don't need any as there were many of them in our history."
Among the positive moments Kwasniewski mentioned the signing of a bilateral economic agreement in October of this year, the holding of an economic forum in Krakow in January 2005, as well as the summit of the Council of Europe in May in Poland.
The Polish president also said that he accepted the invitation from the Russian president to visit Russia next May within the framework of festivities devoted to the 60th anniversary of victory in.
