Speaking at a key convention of his ruling centrist Civic Platform (PO) party, Tusk said: "If someone wants to come to Poland permanently, work longer, and study longer, they must be prepared to respect Polish standards and customs, and they must want to integrate."
While outlining his government’s new long-term migration strategy, he asserted: "We will not adopt or implement any European or EU policies if we believe they could compromise our security."
He told the convention that further details of the new migration plan, entitled "Regaining Control, Ensuring Security," would be unveiled on Tuesday.
Speaking earlier this week, Tusk said that the strategy would focus on combating illegal immigration and propose a modern migration policy for the European Union in the years ahead.
Tusk said in April that Poland would not agree to the EU's relocation mechanism for migrants, despite its approval by the European Parliament.
