3 January 2006 -- Polish Prime Minister Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz today accepted the resignation of Treasury Minister Andrzej Mikosz, who held the post just two months.
The move comes after a press report accused Mikosz of having ties with a businessman accused of fraudulent financial transactions.
Mikosz has denied any wrongdoing.
He is the first cabinet minister to leave the two-month-old government.
