Polish security services convened a special meeting on Sunday after receiving information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The exact nature of the threat and its origin were not immediately clear.
“Following information received by the Polish Police regarding a possible attack …Interior Minister, Marcin Kierwiński, and the Minister-Coordinator of Special Services, Tomasz Siemoniak, have ordered action to be taken in this matter,” Karolina Galecka, a spokesperson for the Interior Ministry, wrote on X.
“A meeting will be held today at 11.00am at the Internal Security Agency’s Counter-Terrorism Centre.”
A spokesperson for the minister-coordinator of special services said he had no further comment.

While violent crime is relatively rare in Poland, the country is deeply polarised politically and has faced security threats due to its proximity to the war in Ukraine.
In August, police detained a 23-year-old man accused of calling for the assassination of senior Polish politicians.
In 2024, Tusk said he received threats after an assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Polish authorities were on high alert this week following three school attacks within four days.
