It is to be mentioned that in November 2008, during the Russian aggression against Georgia, the Polish President Kaczynski was attacked by Russian troops. The attack occurred in Akhalgori, when at Akhalgorsk checkpoint in the Tskhinvali zone of the Georgian-Russian conflict a motorcade of Presidents of Poland and Georgia came under fire.
According to the vice-premier and the head of the Polish MIA Grzegorz Schetyna, officers of the Bureau of the Government Security, who were ensuring the security of the Polish President, "were purposefully excluded from the vicinity of the president." Grzegorz Schetyna noted that after the incident with the shooting on the border to South Ossetia "personal and organizational conclusions had to be made. The dangerous precedent should not be repeated", - said the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
The Polish President Lech Kaczynski was in Georgia to participate in the celebrations to mark the fifth anniversary of the "Rose Revolution". Straight from the Tbilisi airport Lech Kaczynski went to a refugee camp, which suffered during the August military conflict in the Caucasus.
Lech Kaczynski told reporters after an incident that the shellings in Akhalgori came from a Russian checkpoint at approximately 30 meters from him.
