An upright citizen of Kraków, perhaps (4)
I believe the answer is:
pole
'an upright' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pole that I've seen before include "Magnet end" , "Round rod of wood or metal" , "One of two opposites" , "European - flag bearer" , "support" .)
