12:35
In an interview with public broadcaster TVP1, Polish Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna said that Europe should do all it can to stop illegal migrants from entering Europe.
"All must be done to stop immigration at Europe's borders. We have to defend ourselves against illegal, uncontrolled immigration," said Schetyna
Nonetheless, he assured that the country is prepared to share the burden of giving shelter to refugees in genuine need.
In July, Poland agreed to resettle 2,000 refugees, however, Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz has recently said that the number might be renegotiated considering the huge wave of migrants pouring to Europe.
"Poland shows solidarity, the gesture confirms this. ...Today's situation is very dramatic. Questions about future numbers arise. ... We're ready for further discussion and accepting tough decisions," Schetyna added.
