Roundup: Poland to continue "sensible" migration policy: PM

Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said Wednesday that Poland would continue its sensible migration policy.

Szydlo made the remarks during a press conference held in Warsaw.

She said Poland would continue its "very sensible" migration policy, and added she was resistant to "any pressure."

In Szydlo's opinion, Brexit was also one of the negative effects of irresponsible migration policy.

"The EU made a terrible mistake when under pressure of various lobbies... it adopted solutions which proved ineffective and did not resolve the migration problem," she said.

Asked about the possible financial consequences following refusal to accept migrants, Szydlo said the Polish government has declared that it would not accept a solution it considers "bad", especially for Europe.

"We do not agree to conduct irresponsible policy which might influence the security of Poland," Szydlo added.

She also declared that Poland would provide humanitarian help on site to the people who really needed it.

Regarding the relations between the European Union and Britain, the Polish prime minister said they should be built on the basis of reciprocity and partnership.

Asked about the resolution adopted Wednesday by the European Parliament on the Brexit conditions, Szydlo said: "We believe that Great Britain should meet all its financial obligations taken this term."

She also underlined that the acquired rights of EU citizens, also Poles living in Britain were her government's priority. Endit
