much worse\u201d, and Poland\u2019s border guard said Belarusian forces were still ferrying migrants to the frontier.<\/p>\n<p>The European Union accuses Belarus of flying in thousands of people from the Middle East and pushing them to cross into EU and NATO members Poland, Lithuania and Latvia, in response to European sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>Minsk, which denies fomenting the crisis, cleared a migrant camp near the border on Thursday and started to repatriate some people to Iraq, while Poland and Lithuania reported lower numbers of attempts to cross their borders in recent days.<\/p>\n<p>But Morawiecki warned the crisis was far from over as he toured Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia on Sunday to discuss the situation.<\/p>\n<p>A poll published by Poland\u2019s Rzeczpospolita daily on Sunday said 55% of Poles are worried the crisis on the border could escalate into an armed conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the things that unfold before our eyes, these dramatic events, may only be a prelude to something much worse,\u201d Morawiecki said in Vilnius.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"
