(ANSA-AFP) - WARSAW, AUG 31 - Poland on Tuesday was set to
declare a state of emergency along its border with Belarus after
a large influx of migrants that Warsaw suspects is being
engineered by the regime in Minsk. The government approved the
measure, which is now expected to be signed off by President
Andrzej Duda in the coming hours. The state of emergency would
apply for 30 days and would include a ban any demonstrations at
the border as well as an obligation for people in the area to
carry identity documents. "The situation on the border with
Belarus is a constant crisis," Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki
told reporters. (ANSA-AFP).
