- Indeed, it seems there was no other choice [but to introduce border controls], but the Polish-German border must also be guarded very consistently and very strongly, so that there is no situation where the German side, in turn, illegally pushes migrants to the Polish side - stated President Andrzej Duda in the Czech Republic.

- Poles are very sensitive to this. We know that a civil guard has been established because people have concluded that the guarding of the western border is insufficient. I am grateful to all our compatriots who support border defense. Because in my opinion, this is essentially civil support for the Border Guard, while the government should primarily take concrete actions and ensure that citizens feel adequately secured - he continued.
