Polish border guards on November 18 did not allow Svyatoslav Sheremeta through the checkpoint Shegyni, forbidding him to enter the country for a period of one year. According to Polish media, he was on the black list of Ukrainians made by the Polish Foreign Ministry. Polish Foreign Ministry refused to make public the names of those who fell into the "black list."

Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Vitold Vashchikovsky said that his department is compiling a list of Ukrainian officials who will be banned from entering Poland. In addition to Sheremeta, it can also include the director of the National Memory Institute Volodymyr Vyatrovych. It is he who is responsible for the historical cooperation between the countries. The Polish Ministry of Education expressed dissatisfaction with his actions, calling him "an irresponsible person with intrusive anti-Polish ideas."

The thing is that Ukraine has canceled permits for the Polish National Memory Institute to conduct search and exhumation of Poles buried in Ukraine and does not agree to their restoration. It happened after the monument of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in Grushovici (Poland) was demolished in April.
