01 May 2024, Brandenburg, Frankfurt (Oder): A duck stands on a railing in the early morning in front of the city bridge over the border river Oder between Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice in Poland. The foreign ministers of the two neighboring countries plan to meet at midday to mark the 20th anniversary of Poland's accession to the EU. Both want to visit the Collegium Polonicum in Slubice on the Polish side, as well as a European festival, and then walk together across the city bridge over the German-Polish border river Oder to Frankfurt (Oder).
