Czech population increases thanks to migration

During the first quarter of this year, the population of the Czech Republic increased by 23,100 to 10.85 million, the Czech Statistical Office revealed on Monday. More people died than were born in this period, so the increase was only thanks to migrants coming into the country, mainly Ukrainians fleeing the war. Three-quarters of the immigrants were Ukrainian citizens, while the second largest group of migrants was Slovaks, at four percent.
