In Belarus, more than 10 thousand illegal migrants are seeking to get into the European Union, counted the authorities of Poland. Reports about it Deutsche Welle.
Head of the Polish Program General Tomas Prague said that in recent days, the number of attempts to illegal crossing the border between the two countries has grown. For example, at Saturday, September 4, 215 people tried to get into Poland, on Sunday – another 152.
According to General, the Belarusian authorities specifically bring migrants to the country to deliver to Lithuania, Latvia and Poland on the border. In this, international groups are involved, which are transferred to people from Asia and Africa to Western Europe.
In conversations with border guards, migrants reported that they seek to Germany or France.
“Many say that they wanted to go to his brother, sister or relatives and did not know that they still have Poland and there is a border,” said Prague.
Premier Poland’s Prime Minister Mateeus Murezetsky called the situation under the border with Belorussia, the most tense over the past 30 years.
The migration crisis on the border of Belarus and EU countries began after in May, President Alexander Lukashenko, against the background of the next exacerbation of relations with the West, threatened to weaken the control over the movement of illegal immigrants and drug trafficking.
