The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Stockholm was represented by Consul Andrzej Szmidtke, Consul Bożena Michałowska-Jach, and Vice-Consul Andrzej Jach. The Stockholm EU Social Services Team provides short-term support and assistance to people in difficult situations, including Polish citizens residing in the municipality.

Information was also shared on possible channels of communication between Swedish services and their counterparts in Poland.
