The head of the diplomatic security unit at the Polish Foreign Ministry is hospitalized in critical condition in a Slovenian hospital after falling from the third-floor balcony of a consular building near the Polish embassy in Ljubljana. The incident occurred on September 13 in the early morning hours, but its details were only published in recent days in Polish and Slovenian media. Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Maciej Wójcik confirmed that the senior official was on a private vacation in Ljubljana at the time. According to reports in Poland, despite being on vacation, he received a diplomatic shipment, or courier documents related to the shipment, at the location and was supposed to forward them. It was also claimed that no official authorization was issued for him to carry out the task. The Polish Foreign Ministry did not confirm all the details regarding the shipment. The Ljubljana police stated that they received a report of the incident around three in the morning. The investigation is proceeding unusually: the Slovenian police did not inspect the scene and did not enter the building because it enjoys diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention. The Polish mission announced that authorized investigators on its behalf will conduct the scene inspection. Member of Parliament Krzysztof Bosak called for a thorough investigation of the case. The name of the injured senior official has not been published.
