Thursday evening Tomasz Siemoniak and Magnus Brunner they visited the closed border crossing in Polowce (Podlaskie) and the Polish-Belarusian border section near this passage, where there is simply a steel barrier and there is besides an electronic barrier.
EU Commissioner on the Polish-Belarusian border. “This is not just a problem for Poland”
— We're dealing with hostile actions towards Poland and the EU (from the side) of the Lukashenko regime, who instrumentally uses innocent people who effort to get to a better life, frequently paying smugglers people for this opportunity," said Siemoniak at the briefing ending this visit.
He assured that actions to strengthen the protection of the border with Belarus were carried out to guarantee that not only Polish citizens, but besides European Union countries, "feel safe". He reminded me that A fewer months ago, the European Commission identified the situation on the Polish-Belarusian border "instrumentalisation of migration" and its "weaponisation"that is, the usage of migrants as weapons.
Commissioner Magnus Brunner stressed that the situation on this border is not only a problem for Poland, and the European problem. He thanked the Polish Border defender for its service in protecting the Polish border, at the same time the EU's external border. “We all know what Russia and its ally Belarus are capable of. Cynicism and cynical behaviour are just 1 of the words that can be described by the Commissioner in the Polows.
