Mateusz Morawiecki made the announcement at a briefing on Monday, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
Asked if Poland would issue a diplomatic note to Germany about war reparations, the PM replied: “Yes indeed. In the immediate future, we can expect a diplomatic note.”
He added: “The note will be supported by highly detailed analyses, materials stating our case not just from the moral and historical standpoint, but also from the political and legal perspective.”
Poland estimates its WWII losses caused by Germany at EUR 1.3 trillion
Last Thursday, Poland published a report estimating the country’s World War II losses at the hands of Germany at EUR 1.3 trillion.
The leader of the country’s ruling conservatives Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński, said that a decision had been made to raise the issue of World War II reparations with Berlin.
Kaczyński added: “It’s about securing compensation, maybe through a long and arduous process, for everything that Germany, the German state, the German nation, did to Poland between 1939 and 1945.”
Germany’s Die Welt newspaper wrote afterwards that “from the moral point of view, an attempt to remedy the damage [inflicted on Poland during World War II] is advisable and shouldn’t be rejected,” as cited by the PAP news agency.
