WARSAW, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Poland's security is more important than reckless decisions on refugees made by EU institutions, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski told on Thursday to a public radio broadcaster.
Waszczykowski referred to the decision made by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Wednesday, which, according to him, was "not good". Also the 2015 refugee relocation decision was against the law and the security situation in Europe, according to the Polish FM.
On Wednesday, the Court rejected challenges by Slovakia and Hungary with regard to relocation of refugees and migrant relocation plan.
In the same day, Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo also commented on the Court's decision, saying it would not change her government's policy. During television interview, Szydlo said that the Polish government was expecting such a decision and therefore was prepared for it. "The admission of refugees as well as the migration policy introduced by the EU [...] was, in our view, a mistake," said the PM, adding that this decision haven't had reached the expected effect.
On Wednesday, the ECJ dismissed the legal action launched by Slovakia and Hungary against a compulsory relocation scheme of migrants created to lift some of the burden from fellow European Union (EU) member states Italy and Greece, which were hit the strongest by the influx of migrants seeking a better life in the EU.
The decision was harshly criticized by the Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto, who called it irresponsible and outrageous. Slovakian Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak, on the other hand, said that the country respected the ECJ decision.
