Poland will allow Russian inspectors "regular access" to a U.S. anti-missile shield on its territory if it is installed, the Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday.
The Russian daily RBK-daily Tuesday quoted Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski as saying Poland was prepared to allow regular Russian inspections of the shield installations.
Polish Foreign Ministry spokesman Piotr Paszkowski, however, told Polish news agency PAP that the permanent presence of Russian inspectors on the shield site was impossible "for historical reasons."
Poland and the U.S. are in talks on the installation in Poland of a U.S. missile defense system. Russia, which claims the system could endanger its safety, has demanded permanent access to the installation by its inspectors.
