WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's Constitutional Tribunal could rule on Wednesday on whether the country's constitution or European Union treaties take precedence, a key judgement which an EU commissioner said was holding up the release of EU funds to Warsaw.

Poland is involved in a series of disputes with the EU on issues ranging from courts and media freedom to LGBT rights, as critics accuse its nationalist government of inching toward an exit from the bloc.
