Poland expressed concern to Russia on Tuesday over what it called "difficulties" in accessing the site of the 2010 plane crash in Russia that killed Poland's President Lech Kaczynski and 95 others. Poland's Foreign Ministry said Deputy Foreign Minister Bartosz Cichocki handed a diplomatic note to Russia's Ambassador Sergei Andreyev regarding access to the crash site in Smolensk, Russia. The note urged Russia to prevent any actions that could make access to the site difficult. The ruling Law and Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the late president's twin brother and blames Moscow for the crash, despite investigators in Poland and in Russia saying that it was an accident. Jaroslaw Kaczynski has been leading monthly observances in Warsaw in their honor.
