MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Poland will not accept illegal migrants within the framework of the "Pact on Migration and Asylum" adopted by the EU Council, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday.
"Poland will not accept any migrants within the framework of the Migration Pact. Poland has received hundreds of thousands of migrants in connection with the Russian-Ukrainian war. We also have tens of thousands of migrants from Belarus," Tusk said.
Earlier, majority of European Parliament members have approved a controversial law called the "Pact on Migration and Asylum" aimed to help combat illegal migration, human trafficking, as well as to increase the penalties for such crimes within the European Union (EU).
