Waszczykowski nominated to a void position

Former Deputy Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski, and the Polish government's main negotiator during talks with the US administration on the anti-missile shield, received on Thursday a nomination from President Lech Kaczyński to become deputy head of the National Security Office (BBN). Waszczykowski has accepted the nomination and will replace Roman Polko, who resigned from this position at the end of July.

"I don't intend to act here alone, but in a joint role with the President," Waszczykowski told TVN24 how he sees himself in his new role. He added that he expected the nomination later in the year, but understands the reason for speeding up the process.

Waszczykowski will fill an empty position left by Roman Polko who resigned after media allegations that he participated in a paid lecture that he gave to bankers on how to select employees and be a leader.

Waszczykowski admitted that he has already met with the head of the BBN. "We talked about issues regarding the missile shield and I informed the head of BBN of many aspects of my work in the last few months of my job," he said to Rzeczpospolita.
