Poland in CoE

The European External Action Service (EEAS) defines FIMI as external, intentional, and coordinated interference in a country’s information space. This is a problem that threatens modern democracies, and above all, citizens; that is why strengthening international cooperation on this issue is so crucial. Poland is a leader in countering FIMI. 🇵🇱💪 The conference and simulation exercise organized by the Polish MFA, @eu_eeas and @HybridCoE brought together over 100 representatives from government and NGOs from 🇦🇲, 🇲🇩, 🇺🇦, 🇬🇧 and 🇪🇺. Together with our partners, we trained how to defend against foreign interference and manipulation in the information environment and how to protect democratic debate. @eu_eeas @HybridCoE #FIMI #Security #HybridThreats

Poland condemns in the strongest terms Russia's barbaric drone attack on the historic centre of Lviv - a @UNESCO World Heritage site. The 17th-century Monastery, a treasure of European civilisation shaped by centuries of Polish and Ukrainian history, set ablaze in a broad daylight. This is a deliberate assault on our shared memory and identity. Russia, a party to the Hague and UNESCO Conventions in name only, is destroying the very heritage these treaties exist to protect.

Lors de sa réunion d'aujourd'hui, le Comité des délégués des ministres (@CoE_fr) a entendu les candidats au poste de secrétaire général adjoint. Les délégués ont examiné aussi les efforts déployés pour abolir la peine de mort dans les pays où elle est encore en vigueur.

🟢 Zielone światło od Komisji Weneckiej dla reformy sądownictwa! Komisja Wenecka przyjęła opinię dotyczącą rządowego projektu ustawy o statusie sędziów. Potwierdza ona, że nasze działania są zgodne z najwyższymi standardami europejskimi. Dlaczego ta opinia jest tak ważna dla obywateli? ✔️ Reforma ma na celu realizację wyroków ETPCz i odbudowę autorytetu sądownictwa, ✔️ Projekt nie unieważnia nominacji wstecz, co zapewnia stabilność systemu, ✔️ Nowe konkursy sędziowskie oparte na jasnych kryteriach. Polska wraca do aktywnego dialogu z instytucjami międzynarodowymi - jesteśmy gotowi na dalszą współpracę, by każdy miał pewność, że jego sprawę rozstrzyga niezawisły sędzia. ℹ️ Dowiedz się więcej: gov.pl/web/sprawiedli…

💬 Europe needs leadership. [...] Now responsibility for its future also lies in our hands. #exposéMSZ Deputy Prime Minister @sikorskiradek presenting Polish foreign policy tasks in 2026 in @PLParliament ⬇️

💬 A free Ukraine, as part of the West, is an opportunity for us - an opportunity to pull the teeth of Russian imperialism, to strengthen our common defence, to intensify economic cooperation, to launch joint projects in the defence industry, and to involve our companies in the reconstruction process. | Deputy Prime Minister @sikorskiradek presenting Polish foreign policy tasks in 2026 #exposéMSZ in @PLParliament ⬇️

In Strasbourg, I briefed the ambassadors of the Committee of Ministers of the @coe, at an event organized by @EUatCoE and @PLPermRepCoE. I thanked European countries for their solidarity with the Belarusian people, their principled non-recognition of the Lukashenka regime, and their support for political prisoners. We discussed visa policy and mobility, problems with documents and passports, sanctions and accountability, transnational repression and abuse of Interpol, support for independent media and culture, and continued backing for Ukraine. We are working with 🇪🇺 states and @EUHomeAffairs to prevent Belarusians in exile from becoming stateless. At our request, 🇪🇸 recognized expired passports, and 🇩🇰🇳🇴 began issuing alien passports to Belarusians. In 🇱🇹, documents are valid for three years, and 🇵🇱 provides international protection. These are good examples that need to be expanded. I also welcomed 🇺🇦’s new approach toward Belarus. Our elites, army, and society are watching Ukraine with hope. I believe that in the event of a ceasefire, Ukraine’s role for Belarus will become even more significant. Belarus is part of Europe. And we will return home.
