Russia called Poland's invitation to the G20 foreign ministers' meeting a breach of consensus rules, while the US supported Warsaw's bid for full membership.
The State Fish Agency announced the introduction of seasonal restrictions on fishing in wintering areas. Offenders face fines or criminal liability.
Tensions flared over Poland's presence during the meeting of foreign ministers from G20 member states in Atlanta. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Warsaw's invitation. According to him, Poland's economy does not meet the necessary criteria for participation in the bloc, and the very fact of the invitation contradicts diplomatic principles based on reaching consensus.
The US, which currently chairs the G20, took the opposite stance. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Poland has every right to full membership. He emphasised the country's dynamic economic growth and its increasing international influence. Last year, the size of the Polish economy exceeded the $1 trillion mark.
Warsaw is seeking to consolidate its position and secure further support from other participants. However, obtaining full membership may be a lengthy process. The main obstacles remain the need to align the views of all parties and active resistance from Russia.
In addition to the debate over the G20's composition, the ministers discussed Russia's war against Ukraine and the prospects for new negotiation processes. Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski called for a ceasefire in the Black Sea. In response, Sergey Lavrov accused President Volodymyr Zelensky of complicating negotiations with his statements about strikes on Russian targets.
At the end of the meeting, the heads of foreign ministries refused to take the traditional joint photo. Some summit participants expressed disagreement with posing alongside Russian minister Lavrov.
