Waszczykowski: Poland to consider refugee resettlement applications

"We will consider refugees' applications to stay in Poland," proclaimed Witold Waszczykowski, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The official emphasized that in turn, refugees will have to provide proof of identity and will be verified by security services. However, there is no guarantee that they will be resettled for sure and at once. Concerning the amount of refugees (it was planned to be 7,000), the Minister says it will depend on how many people who apply to be resettled in Poland meet the required criteria. "Even if these people come to Poland, it is hard to imagine them registering here, since they will receive an identity document, and in accordance with European law, will have the opportunity to travel throughout Europe," Witold Waszczykowski explained. Earlier, Prime Minister Beata Szydło said she doesn't see any possibility of accepting migrants in Poland at this moment, arguing that the decision to take in refugees was flawed.
