Chargé d’Affaires of Poland in the Russian Federation Jacek Szczlyadevsky was strongly protested at the Russian Foreign Ministry in connection with the seizure of the school at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw. The Foreign Ministry noted that reciprocal steps would not be long in coming.
“This flagrant act is a flagrant violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961 and looks especially cynical – it is directed against children studying at school, whom the Polish authorities brazenly put on the street”– says in a message on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, the department added that what happened was the next step of Warsaw in a policy aimed at trying to destroy relations between the two countries.
“It is enough to recall the systematic destruction of the Soviet memorial heritage in Poland, the state patronage of acts of vandalism on our military graves, or the deliberate falsification of the history of the Second World War”the Foreign Ministry stressed.
At the same time, the message of the ministry notes that Moscow’s response measures will not be long in coming. The department also expressed the hope that this will help the Polish authorities to start thinking about the long-term consequences of their policies.
Recall that the Warsaw bailiffs, with the support of the police, broke into the school at the Russian Embassy in the early morning of April 29. The staff of the educational institution were given only a few hours to pack their belongings and leave the building.
