Limited agreement on currency exchange losses in pay-outs to WWII victims

The Polish and German WWII compensation funds have failed to reach an agreement on compensating the losses of Polish Third Reich workers resulting from disadvantageous exchange rates. The sole positive result of yesterday's negotiations in Berlin is the agreement on the German side to compensate the losses suffered by the recipients of the first three compensation tranches by the end of this year. The German fund has pledged zl.103 million for the purpose. According to the calculations of the Polish side, this means that the recipients of the remaining tranches may not get any compensation for the losses unless additional money is found. The next negotiation round will take place in Warsaw on Thursday. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A11) A.Z
