The funds will be released following the assessment of damages, he told reporters in southwestern city of Wroclaw on Tuesday. Polish prime minister has discussed the matter with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. 

Von der Leyen may visit Wroclaw in the coming days or hours, he said.
