Jan Olszewski, who served as Poland's prime minister in 1991-1992, has died, ruling party Law and Justice (PiS) senior member Antoni Macierewicz told PAP on Friday.
Olszewski died in a Warsaw military hospital late on Thursday, state television reported on Twitter.
Olszewski, 88, was the third premier after the collapse of communism in 1989.
