PM to dismiss Polish ambassador in Prague

Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister, will sack Poland's ambassador to the Czech Republic for criticising the government's handling of a Polish-Czech dispute over a lignite mine. "Prime Minister Morawiecki has decided to launch the dismissal procedure against the Polish ambassador to the Czech Republic," government spokesperson Piotr Mueller wrote on Twitter on Thursday evening. "It is the duty of all Polish diplomats to look after Polish interests."
