Poland, Brussels in talks over EC access to border with Belarus

Poland and the EU are in talks over the possibility of allowing European Commission (EC) officials access to areas near Poland's border with Belarus, now off limits due to a state of emergency. Poland imposed the state of emergency along the Belarusian border owing to increasing numbers of migrants crossing into Poland from Belarus. Poland, along with the Baltic States, has accused Belarus of pushing migrants across the border as part of a deliberate policy to destabilise the EU.
