BRATISLAVA, June 18 (Reuters) - Poland hopes it will not have to use its veto in talks on a new European Union treaty, but will defend demands...

...for re-weighting the EU voting system, Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said on Monday.

Poland has threatened to block progress on the charter for reforming EU institutions at a June 21-22 summit unless voting rules are changed. Warsaw believes the rules contained in the treaty give too much power to big countries such as Germany.

"I hope we will not have to use the last resort, a veto. I hope we will be able to find a compromise," Kaczynski told a news conference after a meeting of central European leaders in the Slovak capital.
