"I talked to the Poles here normally, I was on the bus recently. Despite the fact that I lost, I received congratulations. We try not to talk, not to start dialogues, so as not to raise sore subjects. We just pass each other. We cross paths all the time-in the dining room, somewhere else. But no one has provoked the other - neither to talk nor to conflict," Romasenko said.
