The victory of the director of the Museum of Polish History in the NSA is not enough to return to work

The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the Ministry of Culture failed to prove any negligence by Robert Kostro, the dismissed director of the Museum of Polish History. The court emphasized that the ministry did not document the alleged violations or connect them to Kostro's actions. Following the ruling, the ministry stated that it is final and does not allow for Kostro's reinstatement. Kostro may seek compensation for his dismissal, but the ministry indicated that he could only claim a limited amount. This case reflects a broader trend of dismissed cultural institution directors winning legal battles against the ministry, although reinstatement is often not possible due to new appointments. Legal experts note that the ruling opens avenues for compensation claims but complicates the situation due to new leadership in these institutions.
