Foreign Affairs Minister Bartoszewski commences official visit to U.S.A.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Wladyslaw Bartoszewski begins an official visit to the U.S.A today. Bartoszewski will participate in talks on the situation in the Balkans, the second round of NATO extension, and the visit of American President George W. Bush to Poland planned for June. Yet the most difficult issue is surely Polish-Jewish matters, such as the restitution of Jewish property and the investigation of the Jedwabne pogrom. Bartoszewski is accompanied by so many advisors and guests that an additional plane was necessary to transport the entire delegation, many of whom are deeply involved in Polish-Jewish relations.
