The Republic of Poland has a bicameral parliament consisting of the Sejm and the Senate. In the Chancellery of the Sejm and the Chancellery of the Senate, which manage the work of each of the chambers, the following are responsible for handling media relations: in the Sejm – the Press Office of the Sejm, in the Senate – the Senate Information Center.
Since the press service of the Presidency is handled by both offices, you may contact either of them in case of any questions or inquiries – we exchange information on an ongoing basis.
