TBILISI, May 9 (RIA Novosti) - Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili will make a working visit to Poland May 10-12 and attend an energy summit, the presidential press service said Wednesday.

Georgian Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili said the summit will address diversification of the European energy market, adding the energy dialogue will continue later this fall, in Lithuania.

The energy summit in Warsaw is expected to bring together the presidents of Poland, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine.

Polish President Lech Kaczynski said last month "these are countries that are interested in an oil project to extend the Odessa-Brody oil pipeline to Plock and Gdansk."

The pipeline was originally designed to pump oil from the Caspian, or Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, to Europe.

Ukraine's Odessa-Brody section was completed in 2002 but suspended for lack of customers or suppliers until Yushchenko came to power in 2004. Talks are now under way on extending the pipeline to Poland's Plock and Gdansk on the Baltic.
