WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will continue to respect European Union law, its foreign ministry said on Saturday, after the country's Constitutional Tribunal ruled that parts of EU law were incompatible with Poland's constitution.

The ruling plunged the European Union into an existential crisis on Friday and raised the possibility of Poland leaving the 27-nation bloc.
