Poland will take 7000 refugees, sets conditions

Poland's foreign minister says the government stands by its commitment to take in 7,000 refugees, on condition they are checked for security and are willing to settle in Poland.

Poland had previously agreed on that number, but following the attacks in Brussels last week Prime Minster Beata Szydlo said she saw "no possibility" of accepting any migrants. The words were understood as reneging on the refugees deal, ABC News reported on Wednesday.

But Witold Waszczykowski said on TVP INFO late Tuesday that Poland will be ready to "review the applications" of those refugees whose identities are confirmed, who are declared as posing no security threat and who are willing to come to Poland. He expressed doubt as to whether 7,000 such refugees could be found.
