Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called on Tuesday for the Libyan war to be declared over during an international conference of the "friends of Libya" hosted by Paris on Thursday.
"An announcement of the end of the war in Libya on September 1 will be a good step to confirm our will to help," Tusk told a news conference in Brussels after talks with European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso.
Poland is a member of NATO but it refused to participate in the alliance's aerial bombing campaign against Moamer Kadhafi's forces.
The rebels have taken control of Tripoli and most of the country, but NATO officials say the air strikes will continue as long as Kadhafi loyalists continue to threaten civilians.
Tusk said Poland would take part in Thursday's meeting, which will gather senior officials from around 60 countries to secure financial and diplomatic support for the fledgling revolutionary regime in Libya.
"We will help in a humanitarian way, we will help Libya rebuild the country," the Polish prime minister said.
"Of course Libyans have their ideas about democracy and human rights but we are ready to help."
