Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's meeting devoted to the ongoing Belarusian crisis with all Polish parliamentary opposition parties as well as the ruling camp has been scheduled for 10 a.m. on Monday, the head of the Prime Minister's Office said on Friday.
Part of this meeting will be classified, Michal Dworczyk also said.
Morawiecki told public radio broadcaster Polish Radio One on Wednesday that he had sent an invitation to opposition parties to discuss the situation in Belarus. A similar cross-party meeting with the prime minister was held in late August.
On August 9, Alexander Lukashenko was re-elected president of Belarus having allegedly acquired 80.1 percent of the vote in the national elections, while his main contender Svetlana Tikhanovskaya ostensibly garnered 10.1 percent. Mass demonstrations in Belarus against what the protesters say was a rigged vote have been taking place since then, sparking brutal reactions from the police and security forces. (PAP)
