As for 12 children we still have no reliable information to whom it is, who are really. We have a name and surname, but we don’t know if it’s really that face, is it an adequate name and surname.

The children are connected there by relatives, so they need to be accommodated. We strive to see everything that children concerns that the final solution was found in as soon as possible, “he said, conveys Blic.
