Mateusz Morawiecki said Saturday he was meeting counterparts from Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia on Sunday and will travel to other European countries next week. He said the border crisis it is a “very serious geopolitical situation,” with migrants from the Mideast remaining in Belarus and still seeking to force their way into EU member Poland. Poland is pushing them back and says it is protecting the border for all of Europe. Some migrants have given up and were flown back to their home countries.
