Poland will not give in to blackmail and will do everything to defend the borders of the EU,
" Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Twitter. "
Today, the target is Poland, but tomorrow it will be Germany, Belgium, France or Spain
", he continues in a video which he gave the link in his message, also denouncing "
the support from behind from Vladimir Putin
”to President Lukashenko.
The Polish head of government made these statements as he left for a tour of Europe, in a context of growing tensions with Brussels, which accuses Warsaw of not respecting its commitments on the democratic principles of the EU and threatened Friday with a possible suspension of European funds.
On Sunday, he will discuss the migrant crisis with his counterparts in the Baltic states - two of which also share a border with Belarus - before heading to other European capitals this week.
