Poland threatens to close remaining Russian consulates in the country
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski threatened to close the remaining Russian consulates in the country.
He also revoked his consent to the operation of the Russian consulate in Poznan.
Three diplomats working there were deemed undesirable persons on the territory of the republic, RIA Novosti reports.
Minister Sikorski explained that his decision was related to the detention of the saboteur.
Polish authorities claim that the detainee was planning arson in Wroclaw and could have been linked to Russian intelligence services.
Sikorski said he made the decision to close the Russian consulate in Poznan as an expression of outrage over the arson campaign in Poland.
The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that in the event of continued sabotage, Russian consular sites in the country will be closed.
Two Russian consulates general remain operational in Gdansk and Krakow. The consular section of the Russian embassy operates in Warsaw.
