A state of emergency was introduced in Poland on September 2 for a period of 30 days. The reason for such a measure was the migration crisis on the border of Belarus and the EU countries, which began in May after the threats to the President of Alexander Lukashenko, to weaken control over the flows of illegal immigrants and drug trafficking. Large groups of migrants from the countries of the Middle East and Africa began to storm the boundaries of Lithuania for asylum in European countries.
Later illegals began to detain on the borders of Latvia and Poland and return back. At the same time, the Belarusian authorities refuse to let refugees back. At the same time, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) ordered Poland and Latvia to issue a housing stuck on the border with Belarus.
