Poland calls for EU summit on situation at border with Belarus

PAP has learned from its EU sources that Poland's permanent representative to the EU has asked Brussels to organise a special summit on the migrant crisis at the Polish-Belarusian border. Andrzej Sados said at a meeting of ambassadors of the EU 27 in Brussels that Poland saw the urgent need to resolve the situation at the highest political level and called for an extraordinary EU summit in the form of a video conference. The Polish ambassador also said that in the spirit of solidarity strong and sustained political support from the EU is needed, and the adoption of a fifth package of sanctions against Belarus should be accelerated.
