Maybe it could, but it does not. It does not support gadu-gadu which
is supported by libpurple, even if telepathy-haze is installed.

By "support" I mean also sending & receiving the list of contacts to
the server, getting information about a user with the given ID, and
searching for a user matching the given search criteria. Pidgin does
this. Empathy does not support even basic talk.

It has a chance of doing better than Pidgin by supporting the same
sets of emoticons as the native gadu-gadu client (assuming that
copyright allows that).
