Sejm to vote on controversial dual citizenship bill

Sejm to vote on controversial dual citizenship bill The Sejm will vote today on an amendment to the bill on Polish citizenship, eventually deciding the final form of the regulation that will specify the extent to which a foreign passport held by a Polish citizen can be used to avoid the responsibilities of Polish citizenship. Recently, the regulation triggered some protests in Polish emigre circles. According to a recent Senate decision, "A Polish citizen can claim to be the citizen of another country and dual citizenship does not affect the scope of his rights and obligations in relation to the Republic of Poland."
