Poland sees no threat to ties with Russia because of Euro 20 ...
MOSCOW, June 13 (Xinhua) -- Street clashes of Russian and Polish football
fans in Warsaw would not threaten the political relations between the two
countries, Polish Ambassador to Moscow said Wednesday.
"There are no reasons to believe that the incidents would affect our
political relations," Wojciech Zajaczkowski told reporters.
He called the Polish attackers "pseudo-fans".
According to the diplomat, no accusations have been issued so far to the 20
Russian fans detained in Warsaw.
Polish riot police surrounded a hotel in Warsaw where the Russian team lives
following the clashes Wednesday night. Police opened fire into the air and used
water cannons to disperse the aggressive crowd.
At least two Russian and seven Polish fans were wounded. Thirteen Russians
have been detained by police. In total over 180 rioters of various nationalities
were detained.
Head of Russian Presidential Council for Human Rights Mikhail Fedotov, said
he would discuss last night's events with the Polish Interior Ministry.
"I am going to meet (in Warsaw) with the Polish Interior Ministry leadership
as well as with the detained Russian fans," Fedotov told local media.
Russia and Poland played 1-1 in the Euro 2012 game that has finished late
Tuesday. On June 16, Russians will face Greece in Warsaw.
