Resettlement of Iraqi families suspended in wake of problems

Interior Minister Milan Chovanec has suspended a resettlement program for 150 Christian families from Iraq after 25 them said they no longer wanted asylum in the Czech Republic and expressed the desire to travel to some other EU country. Another group, an eight-member family from Mosul, have decided to return to their homeland because they are homesick and unable to settle in a completely different cultural environment. The NGO Generation 21 which organized the transfer and resettlement of Iraqi families at risk is expected to make a statement.
