PM Attacks German President Over Expellees
Poland's prime minister, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, criticised German President Horst Köhler yesterday for addressing in Berlin 1,000 Vertriebene expelled from Poland after the second world war.
Mr Köhler urged Germans to work closely with Poland and be sensitive towards Polish concerns over the Forced Paths exhibition - condemned in Warsaw as portraying Germans as victims of the war.
Mr Kaczynski called it "one of the most disturbing events" of recent times and attacked the League of German Expellees, which represents 12.5 million Germans, for demanding back territory.
