Poland records sharp drop in attempted illegal crossings from Belarus in January
Border Guard data published on 25 January show fewer than 20 irregular crossing attempts from Belarus so far this month—an unprecedented low.

The respite reduces immediate disruption for companies moving staff or freight, but officials urge businesses to keep compliance and contingency plans in place as numbers could rebound in spring.
