Unanimity of the European Council on migration

18.10.2024

At the European Council summit, which took place in Brussels on 18 October, Prime Minister Donald Tusk presented the Polish point of view on migration. Faced with growing challenges on the Union's eastern border, the leaders expressed solidarity with Poland. The European Council unanimously adopted conclusions on migration, which read that no country, including Russia and Belarus, can abuse values such as the right to asylum. Poland is to make “autonomous decisions.”

European solidarity with Poland

EU leaders, regardless of their political views, have expressed solidarity with Poland, which faces serious migration challenges. The actions of Russia and Belarus are aimed at using migration as a tool to destabilise the situation on our eastern border.

The words that have been written are key - Russia, Belarus or any other country must not abuse our values, including the right to asylum, or undermine our democracy

- said the Prime Minister at a press conference in Brussels.

Politicians from various countries expressed understanding of Poland's situation with regard to aggressive illegal migration on the eastern border and the need to implement effective methods to respond to these challenges.
