  "account": "US Ambassador Thomas Rose inaugurated the planned Polish-American Centre at Kraków’s Kościuszko Mound on Monday, September 29, 2026. The center, described as a \"home for all Polish-American initiatives in Poland,\" will be established alongside the historic mound, a tribute to Tadeusz Kościuszko, a hero of both Polish and American independence struggles in the 18th century. Rose laid a cornerstone for the new facility and announced a $150,000 grant, provided by the Ambassadors’ Fund for Cultural Preservation, to restore and preserve the site.\n\nRose emphasized the significance of the partnership between the United States and Poland, stating that America has \"no better friend in Europe.\" Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, the Speaker of Poland’s Senate, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the historical bond between the two nations and the strategic importance of the center. The center will feature event spaces, conference rooms, and offices, and is supported by the Kościuszko Mound Committee in Kraków, USA250PL, and Polish hydraulics manufacturer PONAR Wadowice.",
