He says, new terms of the Summit will be announced later. According to Dykusarov, invitations to the Summit were sent to 22 presidents, including European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and President of the European Council Herman Van Rompuy, but eventually just four confirmed their preparedness to visit it: heads of Poland, Moldova, Lithuania and Slovakia.European politicians are unhappy over the situation with the case of Yulia Tymoshenko, who is serving a jail term in Kachanivska women's penal colony in Kharkiv.
