The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry confirmed that he is not applying for the post of European Commissioner.

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski confirmed that he does not intend to apply for the post of European Commissioner.

It was previously reported that the European Union is considering the possibility of creating a new position of European Commissioner for Defense to oversee the industrial aspects of the EU’s defense policy. As noted, Sikorsky and Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas can apply for the new position. Answering a corresponding question from journalists, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that he did not want to let Sikorsky go to work for the European Commission.

“I do not consider this function (the position of European Commissioner),” Sikorski said on Polish television.


According to him, the importance of Poland has “increased so much” that the Polish foreign minister already “has great influence” in Europe.

“I believe that I create more added value for Poland by working in the country,” he added.
