WARSAW, April 10 (Reuters) - Poland's central bank deputy governor Piotr Wiesiolek will take over the responsibilities of governor Slawomir Skrzypek, who died in a plane crash with President Lech Kaczynski, the bank's spokesman said on Saturday.

'Responsibilities of the governor will be taken over by Piotr Wiesiolek, his first deputy,' the central bank's press officer Maciej Antes said.

Skrzypek and Kaczynski were killed when a presidential plane crashed in thick fog on its approach to a Russian airport on Saturday, killing everyone on board.
