"By the end of the week, state organizations are to put together lists of sites that could host refugees… It has been unofficially confirmed that several sites in the regions of Warmia and Masuria are involved," the center said in a statement.
The Russian border patrol service told RIA Novosti it was aware of Warsaw’s relocation plan but said controls on the border between the Russian Baltic exclave and the Warmia-Masuria province in northern Poland had not been tightened.
About 7,000 asylum seekers will be moved to Poland under an EU relocation scheme to transfer some 120,000 migrants from the union’s most overrun member states, such as Italy and Greece. Some 500,000 migrants have arrived in the European Union this year alone, with thousands coming in daily, according to European Commission data.
