Foreign heads of state in Poland for Independence Day
The main ceremonies were held by the tomb of the Unknown Soldier, in which President Lech Kaczyński, PM Donald Tusk, German Chancellor Angela Merkel as well as presidents of Georgia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Lithuania and Hungary took part.
In the evening, President Kaczyński held a gala at the National Theatre, which was met with criticism as Kaczyński did not invite former President Lech Wałęsa to yesterday's commemoration. Members of the present cabinet were also invited but did not attend, except for Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski.
