In the line of fire
The recent shooting at the Presidential convoy of Lech Kaczyński and Georgian President Michail Saakashvili has caused international repercussions as both Presidents accused the Russians of the attack.
However, NATO as
well as other international institutions remain careful about
commenting on the event. "This definitely is not in line with
the peace agreement. I will not blame either of the parties
because I do not know what happened," said NATO Secretary
General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer. In order to figure out what lies
behind the event, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has ordered the
intelligence services to investigate the incident. The Foreign
Ministry has not yet presented its official opinion on the
issue.
"As we know there is no homogenous
interpretation of what happened," said the Foreign Ministry's
spokesperson Piotr Paszkowski. Meanwhile, the Russian authorities
argue that the Georgian President provoked the incident in order to
halt the Russia-Georgia talks in Geneva concerning the future of
South Ossetia.
