NEW Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki professed happiness yesterday over what he saw as greater acceptance of Poland's opposition to allowing refugees into the European Union.

He was reacting to European Council president Donald Tusk's statement that the EU mandatory refugee quota system has been divisive and ineffective.

"I am pleased with all the voices that support our narrative and approach to the issue of refugees,” said Mr Morawiecki as he arrived at the EU summit in Brussels.
