"According to statistics provided by the Polish Foreign Ministry two days ago, more than 3,000 of our compatriots were able to enter Poland, and these numbers are changing because a large number of people still cross the border and return to Poland every day," said Sayed Ismail Yousefi, an Afghan envoy in Warsaw.
