Lord Provost Robert Aldridge has sent a letter of condolence and support to Krakow Mayor Lukasz Gibala following the mass shooting earlier this month.
Condolences and support to the People of Krakow
On behalf of the citizens of Edinburgh, I want to offer our sincerest condolences to the City and people of Krakow and wider Poland and to the families of those who have died and been injured as a result of the recent horrific and terrifying attack upon people enjoying Krakow's Main Market Square.
Edinburgh holds in high regard the twinning and partner relationships that continue, and we offer our support to you and the City of Krakow, should you need further assistance in emphasising the importance of our shared cultures, traditions, and values.
This is clearly a challenging time for your office, for Krakow’s public services, and for those dealing with this distressing event, and I sincerely offer the City of Edinburgh’s support to all those involved.
I understand that our officials are meeting later this week to discuss the next steps on our Twinning Memorandum of Understanding, and this will give us an opportunity to personally express our support for Krakow and those who have been affected by the attack.”
