BERLIN (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th October, 2021) German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer confirmed on Wednesday that he made a proposal to Poland to arrange joint border patrols amid the influx of refugees to the EU via Belarus.

The DPA agency has reported that Seehofer made such a proposal to his Polish counterpart.

"We support the Polish government in protecting against illegal migration on the border with Belarus or Latvia and Lithuania.
