Prague  - Two Polish miners died and three were slightly injured when a coal mine in north-eastern Czech Republic in which they were working suffered a seismic movement, the mining company's owner said Sunday.

The movement occurred before midnight Saturday as 21 Polish miners were extracting coal in the underground mine, which belongs to the country's largest mining company OKD, said Vladimir Bystrov, a spokesman for OKD's parent company New World Resources.

The causes of the jolt were not immediately known and an investigation was under way, Bystrov said.

The dead miners, aged 39 and 46, were the first earth-tremor victims in OKD's mines this year, he said. Five other people had so far died in the firm's mines in 2008.

Warsaw  - Poland's capital on Wednesday marked the completion of a massive restoration project that marks the borders of the former Jewish Ghetto that was walled in by Nazis occupiers during World War II.

The mayor of Warsaw, along with the minister of culture, inaugurated the project that included 21 new information points along the boundaries of the former Jewish Ghetto. The project also placed a beige line, labeled "Ghetto Wall," along the city streets that outlined the furthest reaches of the Ghetto's borders.

The line snakes along sidewalks and around apartments and offices, broken only when it reaches roads or tram lines.

Warsaw  - Poles made up the largest immigrant group in the European Union, followed by Romanians and Moroccans, an EU report said Tuesday.

Out of some 3 million immigrants that settled in the EU, some 290,000 were Poles, said the Eurostat statistics based on 2006.

Some 2 million Poles went to work in other EU countries - notably Britain and Ireland - since Poland joined the European Union in 2004.

Poles working abroad have contributed to the ex-communist nation's prosperity, sending home more than 8 billion dollars in 2007 while helping to cut the jobless rate.

Warsaw - Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Saturday that the establishment of the US missile shield in his country was solely of concern to Poland and the United States.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union, would have no influence on the project, Tusk said in Warsaw, according to Polish news agency PAP.

He expected "no comments, no actions" for a third country on the issue of the missile shield. Even friendly countries should not interfere, Tusk said.
