POLAND: Presidential Run-off Set For 4 July.
BBC/ In an election that was much closer than polls predicted, with 94% of votes counted, Bronislaw Komorowski won 41.22% of the vote, compared to 36.74% for conservative Jaroslaw Kaczynski. A run-off will be held on 4 July. Many experts credit Kaczynski's recent growing support to sympathy for his twin brother Lech, the president who died in the Smolensk plane crash. Investors generally favor Komorowski, who is expected to continue privatization and will effectively control the government with PM Donald Tusk.
