WARSAW/BIALYSTOK, Poland (Reuters) – The number of migrants trying to enter Poland from Belarus dropped again on Friday after an apparent change of direction by Minsk that could help calm a crisis between the West and the orient.
According to the Polish Border Guard’s Twitter, there were 195 attempts to cross the border on Friday, up from 250 on Thursday and 501 the day before, although Warsaw has warned that the migration crisis is far from over.
Europe accuses Belarus of pulling thousands of people out of the Middle East and forcing them across the border into the EU, in conflict with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko since a disputed election last year.
Belarus, which denies fomenting the crisis, emptied a migrant camp near the border on Thursday and began repatriating some people to Iraq, but Poland said on Friday that Minsk was still transporting hundreds of migrants to the border.
