From Times Wire Reports
Poland’s prime minister rejected the resignations of five Cabinet ministers, demanding new talks to keep his government from collapsing and facing elections it would probably lose.

Party leaders accuse Buzek of failing to keep maverick Solidarity lawmakers in line behind tough economic reforms needed to prepare Poland for European Union membership.
