"We maintain firmly the position that was formed by the [ruling] Law and Justice party before the elections [more than two years ago] that we will not be accepting migrants from the Middle East and North Africa in Poland," Morawiecki said as aired by the Polish television.
At the same time, the minister pointed out that Poland was actively participating in "reducing tensions" on the European Union's eastern borders.
Poland has been among several other Eastern European countries, which have been opposing the EU mechanism of the relocation of migrants.
On December 7, 2017, the European Commission decided to refer Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic to the Court of Justice of the EU "for non-compliance with their legal obligations on relocation."
