STATEMENT

In regard to glaring violations of the last will of Juliusz Nowina Sokolnicki relating to the future of the Order of St Stanislaw committed by Mr Potocki, his desire to appropriate that honourable title for personal use, the way of gaining by Mr Potocki a nomination for a successor of the Grand Master, and finally his moral image, we declare ourselves not recognizing authority of Mr Potocki over following priors and colonels:

Przeorat Mazowsza
Komandoria Węgierska
Wielki Przeorat Azji Centralnej

At the same time we state that each of the priors listed above has its own legal person and in regard to the Polish law, functions as an independent individual that has its statute accepted by the court supported by the Constitution of the Order.

It is not our aim to break the unity of the Order, which was building with a great effort by Juliusz Nowina Sokolnicki for the last 30 years of his life, but our honour does not allow us to stand in the same line with people whose decisions lead to plotting and mocking at the Order.

We are open to all the Chevaliers and Ladies who respect a motto of the Order Preamiando Incitat and resolutions of the Constitution of the Order.

Przeorat Mazowsza – Kaw. Andrzej Szkoda, członek Wielkiej Kapituły
Komandoria Węgierska – Dama Małgorzata Vegh
Wielki Przeorat Azji Centralnej – Kaw Walenty Tyszkiewicz
