Head of Polish Intelligence Agency reveals Poland maintains contact with Belarusian services

Poland is maintaining direct contact with Belarusian intelligence services, revealed Colonel Paweł Szota, head of the Polish Intelligence Agency. In his first media interview, Szota confirmed that his agency engages in a direct dialogue with Belarusian services.

This communication channel is seen as crucial, though Szota noted that significant improvements in bilateral relations are unlikely without the extradition of the individual responsible for the killing of Mateusz Sitek. The statement suggests a complex and cautious approach to engagement between the two countries' intelligence apparatus.

Without the extradition of the killer of Mateusz Sitek, it is difficult to improve relations.

Szota's remarks to "Rzeczpospolita" highlight the ongoing security considerations and the delicate diplomatic landscape between Poland and Belarus. The extradition of the suspect in Sitek's murder remains a key point of contention impacting the potential for normalized relations.
