Poles most worried about tensions with Russia, ISIS and migrants - survey

A new survey by Pew Research Center shows that Russia is seen as the greatest threat for Poles, despite a desire to be tough with Moscow on foreign policy disputes. As many as 71 percent of Poles said that tensions with Russia are a major threat, a far greater percentage than China's emergence as a world power (47 percent) and the US influence (25 percent). When it comes to the EU's policy on Kremlin, 48 percent of Poles disapprove it, while only 32 percent go along with it. Some 42 percent of Polish citizens wish Poland to have a strong economic relationship with Russia. Besides, 73 percent of Poles consider the refugee crisis to be one of the main threats. This level of worry ties ISIS as the top threat for Polish citizens. The survey was conducted in France, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Sweden, Poland, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK.
