Poland again without relocation of migrants. Tomorrow Brussels announces its decision

The RMF FM journalist was the first to report that a preliminary decision on this matter had already been made. Poland will not have to participate in the relocation of migrants and pay approximately PLN 20,000. euro for each person not admitted or provide other forms of support under the solidarity pool.

Brussels took into account primarily the continuing migration pressure on the eastern border with Belarus and the large number of war refugees from Ukraine staying in Poland.

This is a mechanism that is part of the EU Migration Pact, applicable throughout the EU since June this year. It obliges Member States to support countries under migratory pressure.

Poland has already been released from these obligations for 2026. In last year's report, the European Commission recognized our country as both at risk of increased migration pressure and in a difficult migration situation. Back then, it was also about the instrumentalization of migrants on the border with Belarus and the presence of almost a million refugees from Ukraine.

Not much has changed since last year. Refugees from Ukraine are still in Poland, tensions on the border with Belarus persist, and the assessment methodology has also remained unchanged - an RMF FM journalist heard from an EU interlocutor.

The European Commission postponed the publication date of the report several times.
