Leadership of one of Frontex's contingents will be based in Prague

Starting next year, the leadership of one of the contingents of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) will be based in Prague. It will oversee the work of hundreds of agency officers, mainly stationed at airports in ten countries that do not share an external land border with non-EU states. The contingent was established this January, and its leadership is currently based in the Czech capital on a temporary basis. This was stated to journalists today by Jiří Perníček, coordinator of the Frontex National Contact Point, during a ceremonial event.
