Poland’s leader has warned against more possible migrant pressures on the European Union’s border with Belarus, this time coming from Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.

Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki spoke in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, following talks with the country’s prime minister Ingrida Simonyte about ways of solving the “very difficult situation” at the borders of EU members with Belarus.
