President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda signed an act enabling the smooth organisation of the 3rd European Games, which are set to be hosted by the City of Krakow and the regions of Małopolska and Silesia.
The act introduces legal solutions to ensure the organisers can conduct operations in the most effective manner during the preparations of the multi-sport event scheduled from 21 June to 2 July 2023.
