On 21 August, President Karol Nawrocki addressed a Russian drone breach of Polish airspace, announced that the National Security Bureau is monitoring the incident, and signed 21 new laws while vetoing a wind‑farm bill. The situation remains under investigation.
Drone Incident Overview
On the afternoon of 21 August, a Russian drone entered Polish airspace near the border, raising concerns about a breach of national security.
Presidential Briefing
President Nawrocki held a press briefing and issued a statement confirming that the National Security Bureau (BBN) is closely monitoring the situation and that the White House will provide a thorough account. He emphasized ongoing communication with Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz and reassured the public that the matter is being handled with seriousness.
BBN Monitoring and Public Reassurance
The BBN kept the president’s office updated on developments. While no definitive resolution has been reached, officials noted ongoing communication challenges across government entities and the need for additional facts.
Presidential Law Signing Session
In the same address, Nawrocki announced that he had signed 21 new bills presented by Parliament. He highlighted these as the first laws he had signed as president.
Veto of Wind‑Farm Bill
Despite signing new legislation, Nawrocki vetoed the wind‑farm bill, removing the proposal to freeze electricity prices until year‑end. The bill had originally allowed the minimum distance between wind farms and residential buildings to be reduced from 700 m to 500 m and offered incentives for modernizing existing wind facilities. The veto also cancelled an extension of the electricity price freeze to the last quarter of 2023.
