Tusk with the protection of the external boundaries of the EU borders
During a joint press conference in Warsaw, Tusk said that together with the German Chancellor he talked about issues related to migration, which are “the problem of all EU countries”.

“I am very pleased that we are looking for solutions, symmetrical and European solutions together. Our care should be Schengen. I understand the need for enhanced control, but this enhanced control should be dedicated primarily to the external borders of the European Union” – assessed the Polish prime minister.
Controls on the Polish-German border have been in force since October 2023. On Wednesday, German media announced that from now all illegal migrants will be turned back at the borders of Germany, even if they apply for asylum.
