You're reading: Polish president to meet top prosecutors over shooting

WARSAW, Poland — President's press office says he is to meet the country's top military and civilian prosecutors in an apparent attempt to iron out their differences that burst into surface after a military prosecutor shot himself.

Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet and Chief Military Prosecutor Krzysztof Parulski have been clashing about the power and the practices of civilian and the military prosecutors.

President Bronislaw Komorowski summoned the two for separate meetings on Tuesday, a day after Col. Mikolaj Przybyl shot himself in the head after defending the work of military prosecutors and protesting plans to bring them under civilian authority.

Hospital director Krystyna Mackiewicz said Przybyl has undergone surgery for injuries to the face and could be discharged from hospital within two days.
