The Polish government is abandoning a plan to illustrate Polish passports with images of landmarks that are today within the borders of Ukraine and Lithuania.

The plan had angered both of the neighboring countries, with the Ukrainian government calling it an “unfriendly step.”

The disputed images were of a Polish military cemetery in Lviv, Ukraine, and the Gate of Dawn in Vilnius, Lithuania.

Poland’s Interior Minister Mariusz Blaszczak said Monday his ministry has picked other landmarks for the passports.
