Czechia abstains from vote on final form of EU migration package

Czechia abstained from the vote on the final form of the EU migration package, which was agreed by the European Union member states' representatives in Brussels on Wednesday. Hungary and Poland voted against the package.

The position of the member states approved on Wednesday is final, with the new migration and asylum rules only to be formally approved by EU countries' ministers at a meeting next Tuesday.

The European Parliament supported the migration package at its plenary session in early April.
