The State Border Committee of Belarus has received an official notification from Poland regarding the closure of border checkpoints, official representative of the State Border Committee Anton Bychkovsky told the media, BelTA has learned.

Hundreds of people are languishing in front of the Brest checkpoint, waiting to enter Poland before it closes the border with Belarus on the night of 12 September, BelTA has learned.

Belarus denies Poland’s accusations about border incidents, blaming the EU’s policies for the migration crisis.

Belarus invited Poland to security talks due to concerns about Poland’s militarization near their border, proposing negotiations and verification measures to reduce tensions.
