Ukraine Foreign Minister sets May date for opening of Polish cemetery

Ukraine's Foreign Minister, Anatolij Zlenko, has promised that the delayed opening of the Cmentarz Orlat cemetery in Lvov will now take place in two months' time. During an official visit to Warsaw Zlenko said, "I see no obstacles to the restored Cmentarz Orlat cemetery in Lvov being opened in May." The cemetery is the last resting place of Poles who died defending Lvov, including some who lost their lives fighting the Russians in 1939. Originally the cemetery was to be opened on February 20. The delay was caused by parliamentary and local elections in Ukraine, Zlenko explained. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 5) M.T.
