Summary/Abstract: The article compares migration and asylum policies of Poland and Germany with particular attention paid to the events of 2015. Although matters of migration policy do not cause disagreements inbilateral relations, the issue of refugees is potentially controversial. It is not, however, purely a matterof bilateral relations between Poland and Germany, but also those with European Union itself,whose responses to the crisis have been delayed and not very effective. The humanitarian crisis has now become a structural crisis and the solutions proposed by the Commission do not promise to be successful. Moreover, the agreement with Turkey so far has fallen short of expectations.
