Czech Republic rejects German EU refugee allocation initiative
The Czech
Republic will not accept the German proposal for the distribution of illegal
refugees among the EU member states.
This was stated by Prime Minister Andrei Babish.
“We Czech
Republic fundamentally reject the mechanisms for distributing refugees in the
European Union, reject any quotas,” the prime minister noted. “I am surprised
that someone is raising this exhausted topic again. We will be against this Germany’s
proposal to accept migrants.
The negative position regarding the
introduction of migration quotas in the European Union, according to Babish, is
taken by the countries of the Visegrád group Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary
and Poland). Prague consults on
migration policy issues with partners in this regional EU association.
Earlier was
reported that Germany will launch a new initiative on the allocation of illegal
refugees to the EU at a meeting scheduled for next week in Brussels by EU
interior ministers. Berlin will propose
to reform the existing asylum system in such a way that migrants immediately
after passing the first check at the external borders of the European Union are
distributed among the member states of the organization. The host countries will have to ensure that
they complete all the asylum formalities in the EU.
