Poland's Prime Minister Beata Szydło told a news conference on Thursday that Poland is ready to welcome 100 refugees by March, underlining that this is just the beginning of a process that will last until the end of the year.
Szydło said that Poland wants to have a say over who will be able to find a refuge in Poland. "We will set our conditions," she claimed.
Asked about the commitment pledged by the previous government to host 7,000 refugees, the Prime Minister said that "at this moment, we honor that, we respect that, but it doesn't mean that we don't want to start a debate on changes of the decisions which has been made."
"The thing is that these decisions [to take in refugees] were not good," she added, referring to recent developments in Cologne, Germany, where nearly 1,000 men, of allegedly North African origin, groped and molested revelers at NYE celebrations. In her opinion, the EU should make efforts to solve the migrants issue outside Union borders.
