MOSCOW (Xinhua) -- The majority of the Polish population opposes the U.S. plans to deploy anti-ballistic missile(ABM) systems in Poland, visiting Polish Deputy Prime Minister Andrzei Lepper said.

Also as a leader of the Poland's Self-Defense Party, Lepper said the party initiates the creation of a public movement, to be called "Stop Shield", which would aim at holding a referendum on the deployment of ABM systems in Poland, Russian news agencies reported.

Lepper said some 70 percent of the population of Poland opposes the deployment of ABM systems on its territory when meeting with Deputy Chairman of Russia's upper house of parliament Alexander Torshin.

Imports of Polish agricultural products to Russia were also discussed, he said. Lepper proposed setting up a bilateral working group of agricultural deputy ministers to overcome the differences in the field.

"This issue would be solved more efficiently and promptly without participation of third parties," Torshin said.
