President to meet top prosecutors over shooting

Polish President will attempt to iron out differences between military and civillian prosecutors.

The president’s press office says he is to meet the country’s top military and civilian prosecutors in an apparent attempt to iron out their differences that culminated with a military prosecutor shooting himself.

Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet and Chief Military Prosecutor Gen. Krzysztof Parulski have been clashing about the power and the practices of civilian and military prosecutors.

President Bronislaw Komorowski summoned the two for separate meetings on Tuesday,a day after Col. Mikolaj Przybyl shot himself in the head after defending the work of military prosecutors and protesting plans to bring them under civilian authority.

Hospital director Krystyna Mackiewicz said Przybyl has undergone surgery for injuries to the face and could be discharged from hospital within two days.
