GRZEGORZ DZIEMIDOWICZ, 57, was last week appointed press spokesman for Foreign Minister Wladyslaw Bartoszewski. Dziemidowicz had held the same position under former Foreign Ministers Krzysztof Skubiszewski and Andrzej Olechowski. From 1994-1999 he was the Polish ambassador to Egypt. Since last October, he has been the head of the information system department at the Foreign Ministry. Dziemidowicz graduated from Warsaw University in Egyptology and completed a journalism course at the same university. Prior to joining the Foreign Ministry, he spent 18 years at the public broadcasters Polskie Radio and Telewizja Polska, where he was head of the foreign news program department. Dziemidowicz likes history, particularly Middle Eastern, and likes to read when he can find the time. In addition to his native Polish, he said he speaks fluent English, French and Russian.
