Poland will honor EU migrant quotas

Poland's new conservative government will stick to its predecessor's commitment to take in approximately 7,000 migrants, but questions the legality of the decision. "The vast majority of these people are immigrants, but they were treated as refugees. In our view, the legal premise of this decision is faulty," Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said. "We have information from Germany, that the Germans are only able to confirm the identity of around 20 percent (of migrants), and in most cases they don't know who those people are," he claimed. That is why Poland will run thorough security checks on would-be migrants and take in refugees only once their identity has been established and confirmed, Waszczykowski concluded
