December 14, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Rados\u0142aw Sikorski has thanked Belarusian opposition leader \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja for congratulating him on his appointment as Polish foreign minister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sikorski is a “godfather” to political prisoner Siarhiej Cichano\u016dski, a former presidential hopeful and \u015aviat\u0142ana’s husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Thank you, President Cichano\u016dskaja. Your husband and all the other political prisoners in Belarus, are heroes in the cause of freedom. Poland will work to welcome you one day as an independent, democratic and European neighbor,” Sikorski said<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cichano\u016dskaja said yesterday that Sikorski’s appointment as head of the Polish foreign office “fills us with great hope for the future.” She expressed hope for meeting him soon and “further strengthening our close collaboration.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sikorski took the helm of the Polish foreign ministry yesterday as Premier Donald Tusk and his ministers were sworn in at the Presidential Palace. Sikorski already held this position in 2007\u20132014, after serving as defense minister for two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
