WARSAW, Poland, Aug. 29 (UPI) -- A Polish envoy in Washington Wednesday described a U.S. visa policy as unjust, outdated and even humiliating to the people of Central Europe.

Janusz Reiter, Polish ambassador to the United States since 2005, urged U.S. authorities to rectify the country’s enter visa policy, Polish Radio reported.

In an article published in The Washington Post, Reiter admitted U.S. security concerns and fear of unwanted immigrants were acceptable.

However, Reiter said he couldn't understand why the Americans are building a barrier against visitors from Central European countries.
