NEW YORK, July 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AJC congratulated Bronislaw Komorowski on his victory in the Polish presidential elections.

"As Marshal of the Sejm, the Polish parliament, Bronislaw Komorowski demonstrated his unwavering commitment to the Polish people," said David Harris, Executive Director of AJC. "AJC has had a long and rewarding link with democratic Poland. In that spirit, we shall look forward to a close partnership with President-elect Komorowski, as we have had with his predecessors. We wish him every success in his vitally important work."

Presidential elections took place due to the tragic death of President Lech Kaczynski in a plane crash last April. AJC worked very closely with President Kaczynski and several other government officials whose lives were lost in the crash.
