Fiala: European migration policy needs improvement

The Czech prime minister, Petr Fiala, says Europe’s current migration policy is insufficient. He made the comment on Thursday morning, before leaving Prague for a special summit of European leaders in the Spanish city of Granada. The European Political Community gathering is being followed by an informal European Council meeting.

Mr. Fiala said he planned to discuss protecting the EU’s external borders, improving returns policy and cooperation with migrants’ countries of origin.

He said Czechia would support bolder steps but continues to reject compulsory migrant quotas.
