WARSAW/KRAKOW, Poland - Poland’s ruling nationalists held scaled-down events on Friday to commemorate the 10th anniversary of a plane crash in Russia that killed top politicians and military officers, and they renewed criticism of Moscow’s handling of the disaster.
The crash in thick fog near Smolensk in western Russia was Poland’s worst air disaster since World War Two and stunned the country. It also deepened political divisions and revived suspicions about Russia, Warsaw’s former Cold War master. “After 10 years, it’s difficult to say anything or predict whether the case can ever be resolved,” Duda said in Krakow after visiting Kaczynski’s grave in a crypt in Wawel cathedral.
“There are no provisions in international law that allow Russia to withhold Polish property,” it said. It believes the party, led then by former European Council President Donald Tusk, obstructed the probe into the disaster.
