Máte slovo | Migration Pact

Will the migration pact make it compulsory for the Czech Republic to accept refugees? Will the pact limit the flow of refugees into Europe? Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, discussed this on Czech Television's programme Máte slovo.

We are a landlocked country surrounded on all sides by countries in the Schengen area. It is in our interest to make this free movement of people work here, and the price for that is that we protect and look after our external borders.
