Poland to suggest more sanctions against Belarus during next EU summit - premier - TASS

The government of Poland is set to raise the matter of imposing more sanctions on Belarus over the migration crisis on the country’s border, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said during an emergency parliamentary session.

"We will propose tougher sanctions during the next session of the European Council," he said on Tuesday evening.

The minister urged to discuss the situation in the run-up to the summit, possibly in the format of a video conference.

"I will raise the issue of sanctions then," he added.

According to the premier, apart from proposing to "toughen the sanctions in their present form," such as EU travel blacklists, he will also suggest "far-reaching economic sanctions."

Poland is also set to take measures against air carriers, who deliver migrants to Belarus.
