Poland To Protect Citizens' Rights Despite Consul's Expulsion From Norway - Prime Minister
Umer Jamshaid Published January 22, 2019 | 11:45 PM
Poland will continue protecting the rights of Polish citizens abroad, despite the expulsion of the Polish consul from Norway, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Tuesday
On Monday, Norway announced that Polish Consul to Norway Slawomir Kowalski would have to leave the country in three weeks because, according to Oslo, his activities were incompatible with his diplomatic status. Polish media suggested that the expulsion might be related to Kowalski's active role in children rights protection and his opposition to the Norwegian juvenile system.
"This is, of course, the prerogative of the host country [to decide on the expulsion of diplomatic staff] ... We will always fight for the rights of Polish citizens around the world. Of course, we will not abandon it," the prime minister said.
Norwegian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ane Haavardsdatter Lunde, while commenting on the decision to expel Kowalski, specified that the Polish consul's conduct toward public officials and his performance in several consular cases were inconsistent with his diplomatic status.
