Belarus: Lukashenko agrees to EU talks on ending migrant standoff

[DW] In a phone call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
 ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom . Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists...
, Belarus' president reportedly said his country is ready to negotiate with the EU on solving the crisis at the Polish border.
Polish authorities said Wednesday the situation had calmed down, and the migrant camp by the fenced-off Kuznica border crossing was "slowly emptying."
Maciej Wasik, a Polish deputy interior minister, said he had received information that Belarusian authorities were bussing migrants colonists away from the border crossing area, although it was unclear where the people were being moved to.
Belarusian state news agency Belta reported that migrants colonists were moved to a heated logistics center near the border crossing.
A video on Twitter posted by Poland's Border Guard on Wednesday showed migrants colonists with bags being directed by Belarusian forces away from the border to an "unknown location."
In a later tweet, the border guard said around 1,000 migrants colonists remain in the area near Belarus' Bruzgi border crossing, and the rest had been "taken by Belarusian services."
For more than 10 days, a large group of migrants colonists, mainly escaping conflict in the Middle East, has been stuck near the Kuznica-Bruzgi border crossing, having been both denied entry to the EU and largely prevented by Belarusian authorities from turning back.
Polish authorities have responded by sending thousands of troops to counter migrants colonists who attempt to breach border fencing. Many of the migrants colonists aim to reach Germany or other Western European countries.
