Participation in anti-terrorist initiatives,international cooperation in combating terrorist groups, exchange of experience in the fight againstterrorists, and creating an effective system of internal counter-terrorism, is necessary to guarantee safety in Poland. An important element of creating national safety is the protection of the environment in order to ensure the existence of fu-ture generations. The main goal of the Polish stateshould be to develop effective methods for co-untering potential and real threats.
