According to a decision by the European Court of Human Rights, Poland is also obliged to quickly finish its criminal investigation into the Polish officials who allowed the a secret CIA jail to operate in Poland, and hold them accountable.
Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna confirmed on Wednesday that the government will respect the court's decision.
"We have to do it. It's a question for the coming weeks," Schetyna told a public broadcaster.
The European Court of Human Rights rejected the appeal by Polish government on Tuesday, thus confirming the ruling that demanded that Poland pays a total of 230,000 euros (about $262,000) to two prisoners who were tortured by the CIA within Polish borders.
