Interior minister won’t supervise special services

Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz has decided that Jacek Cichocki, head of the PM’s chancellery, would supervise Poland’s special services. This was earlier the competence of the interior minister. Cichocki will be responsible for the coordination of the work of special services and for the legal regulation of their work. In 2011-2013 Cichocki was Poland’s minister of interior and was responsible for the services then. In early 2013 he was succeeded by Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz. In the government of Ewa Kopacz, Teresa Piotrowska will be the interior minister.
