 Lech Kaczynski addresses the UN GA (Beta)
NEW YORK -- Polish President Lech Kaczynski say he will block attempts to establish diplomatic relations with Kosovo at ambassadorial level.
Speaking in New York on Wednesday, Kaczynski once again condemned the Polish government's decision to recognize Kosovo.
"I have never tried to hide that I consider it a mistake. However, the government's decision is legitimate, but I, too, have my competencies and I am saying with severity - there will be no signature of mine on appointing an ambassador to Kosovo," he was quoted as saying.

BELGRADE -- The War Crimes Prosecution has filed a motion to launch an investigation into the actions of Hungarian national Sandor Kepiro, 94.
The mass and the most monstrous killings happened on the Danube River bank in Novi Sad, known as the Štrand.
With temperatures at around minus 30 degrees centigrade, the victims were taken to the previously cut holes in the ice of the frozen river, where they were killed with fire from infantry weapons.
Their bodies were then dumped into the Danube.
Before they met their deaths, the victims were stripped of their clothes, with all their valuables confiscated, the statement reads.
