Polish ambassador to Iraq returns to Warsaw for talks

Within the next few days Poland's ambassador to Iraq, Andrzej Biera, is expected to arrive in Warsaw to consult the Foreign Ministry on the possible consequences of the Iraq conflict. A decision to close the embassy in Baghdad has not been made taken, but there is a flow of information on foreign diplomats leaving Iraq. Krzysztof Bernacki, a Polish diplomat representing American interests in Iraq, is supposed to leave Baghdad tomorrow but neither American nor Polish representatives would comment on the matter. Currently, supporters of military intervention have the upper hand within the EU while France and Germany unequivocally oppose armed action. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A6) K.Z.
