The internal-use database of the Polish foreign ministry which describes the cooperation and funding of the Belarusian opposition appeared on an American website.
The foreign ministry admitted that the leak was a mistake by a ministry employee. It is also said he is going to be fired for the incident.
The data was published by an employee of foreign aid department. The database reveals the information on aid to several countries in 2007–2011, including descriptions of the project and funding with NGOs.
The foreign ministry press secretary Marcin Bosacki said the data has already been removed from free access, PolskieRadio says.
The database names the participants of the projects and the aims: “preparation of the opposition and civil forces for a large-scale civil campaign before the elections,” “the creation of pressure point on the authority,” “increasing of the positive attitude towards Poland,” etc.
