The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland decided in accordance with the principle of reciprocity to consider the employee of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Poznań as a persona non grata, as a response to the groundless 5 February 2020 decision by the authorities of the Russian Federation to consider a Polish diplomat as a persona non grata.

This decision was communicated to the Ambassador of the Russian Federation on Monday 8 February 2021. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic in Poland acted in close coordination with the authorities of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Kingdom of Sweden, whose diplomatic officers were also wrongfully considered personae non gratae by the authorities of the Russian Federation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland would like to take this chance to assure, that regardless of the pressures from the Russian authorities, the Polish diplomats will continue to perform their official duties in the Russian Federation, to which they are entitled to under the rules of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
