According to Marcin Kierwiński, Poland has informed Germany and Lithuania about its decision.
Our European partners fully understand this, as these decisions are aimed at closing the migration route, which has now reopened through Lithuania and Latvia
Kierwiński added that control measures will be in effect until October 4.
"In September, we will make decisions on further steps in this direction based on data from the Border Guard, military, and police," he said.
