Warsaw will reject UK Prime Miniser David Cameron’s plans to curb benefits to EU migrants, a senior aide to Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Janusz Lewandowski, Kopacz’s chief economic adviser, said, as quoted by the Telegraph newspaper:

"Cameron won’t get far in Warsaw. He wants to limit immigrant rights and will hear a definite no, as he did in other European capitals."

David Cameron’s Conservative Party won the general elections on May 7, securing the majority of the seats in the lower house of the British parliament.

EU free movement policy within member states has been criticized in the United Kingdom. The Conservatives have pledged a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017.
