Poland sets conditions for accepting more refugees

Rafal Trzaskowski, secretary of state for European affairs, said that Poland may accept more migrants if the European Union secures its external borders, separates asylum-seekers from economic migrants, and allows Warsaw a say in screening them from a  point of security. "If certain conditions are met, we are willing to show more solidarity than previously" he was quoted as saying by tvn24.pl website. Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said last week that parliament will hold a supplementary session on Wednesday, September 16 to debate the handling of the refugee crisis . The European Commission announced that Poland would have to take in nearly 13,000 refugees under new obligatory quotas.
