Vacuum polarization at long distances for confined heavy-quark--antiquark (QQ-bar) pairs is considered. It is argued that the static confining potential cannot grow faster than a linear potential at large distances. The vacuum-polarization-corrected potential is a flavor-independent potential which allows interpolation between charmonium, UPSILON and other QQ-bar systems.
