WARSAW, Poland (AP) — The environment ministers of Poland and the Czech Republic say they have made progress but still need to consult on some points in solving a stalemate over a Polish lignite mine.

The Czech government says is harmful to its citizens who live near the border between the countries. The two ministers have suggested an agreement is near. A news conference was planned after their talks in Warsaw on Tuesday. In September, a top European Union court fined Poland 500,000 euros for each day the mine continues to operate.
