Official strategy for dealing with Ukrainian refugees due next week

The government plans to approve a strategy for dealing with a wave of migrants from Ukraine next Wednesday and to present it to the lower house the following day, the minister of the interior, Vít Rakušan, said after a government meeting.

The white paper, which focuses on 13 areas linked to the influx of Ukrainian refugees, has been submitted to minsters and an expert group for feedback.

Mr. Rakušan said most focus was being placed on a plan to deal with between 250,000 and 300,000 new arrivals. A plan to handle as many as half a million refugees is also being prepared.
