Nearly 50 ministers discussing migration at two-day Prague conference

A two-day conference of ministers focused on migration begins in Prague on Monday. Held within the Prague Process, which was established in 2009, it brings together representatives of nearly 50 European states, including from the Schengen zone, the Eastern Partnership region, the Western Balkans, Central Asia and Turkey.

Russia and Belarus have not been invited in view of the war in Ukraine.

Czechia currently holds the rotating presidency of the European Union council and the meeting is being headed by the country’s minister of the interior, Vít Rakušan.
