Summary/Abstract: It is generally believed that the post-9/11 developments, especially the war on terrorism, military intervention in Iraq as well as the process of political changes in the Arab world after 2011, changed the situation in the Middle East to Europe's disadvantage. The same claim applies to the Eurppean Union. (...) The EU's voice could be better heard both in Syria and Middle East if some Central European governments including Poland changed their current attitude to the conflict and the fate of Syrian refugees.
