Evropa pro Čechy | As long as there are Ukrainians in the Czech Republic, we have an exemption from the migration pact

There are simply no quotas in the migration pact that would force the Czech Republic to accept refugees from other EU countries, Viktor Daněk, deputy director of the EUROPEUM Institute, says unequivocally on the Deník's Evropa pro Čechy podcast.

What we imagine by the term "relocation", that people from some migration-laden state A will be moved to state B, for example to the Czech Republic, is simply not in the migration reform. Relocations are there only on a voluntary basis. The Czech Republic will be able to choose how to get involved in helping the overloaded country. Whether it will be through relocation, money or material support.
