Warsaw expects SOFA security pact signed with U.S. this week

WARSAW, December 7 (RIA Novosti) - An agreement on the status of U.S. troops on Polish soil, known as the SOFA deal, will be signed on December 10 in Warsaw, a Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Monday.

According to the Status of Forces Agreement, U.S. troops will service Patriot missiles that are to be integrated into Poland's national security system.

"The U.S.-Polish SOFA accord will be signed in Warsaw and not in Washington. The last preparations for signing the document are underway," Piotr Paszkowski told journalists.
