V4 agree to provide immediate assistance to Poland

The foreign ministers of the Visegrad Group have agreed to provide immediate assistance to Poland to combat the “pressure of migration”.

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said the foreign ministers of the Visegrad Group have agreed to provide immediate assistance to Poland to combat the “pressure of migration”.

According to MTI, Minister Szijjártó wrote on Facebook that the foreign ministers of the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia held an extraordinary meeting in Brussels on the sidelines of a meeting of the EU council of foreign ministers earlier today. “We expressed our gratitude and appreciation to Poland for heroically protecting the EU’s external borders, and thus ourselves,” the minister said. He noted that Hungary had faced similar pressure in 2015, and “we could rely on assistance from the V4, and it is natural that the same now applies to Poland.”
