(Reuters) Poland will demand the reform of the European Union’s border agency Frontex and more funds for dealing with migrants, the prime minister said on Thursday, as he prepared to oppose a migration deal at an EU summit in Brussels.
Under the deal reached earlier this month each country would be responsible for a set number of migrants, but would not necessarily have to take them in.
Countries unwilling to receive irregular migrants and refugees arriving ad hoc to the EU would help their hosting peers through cash — around 20,000 euros per person — equipment or personnel.
Poland says it will hold a referendum on whether to accept the deal, possibly on the same day as elections scheduled for October or November.
