Poll: two thirds of young Czechs for country’s EU membership

Two thirds of young Czechs, aging from 12-24, praise the country’s accession to the European Union in 2004 as having been a ‘good thing’, an international poll conducted by the GfK agency suggests. According to the study, young Slovaks are even more enthusiastic about their country’s EU membership, with three quarters saying that joining the bloc was the right thing to do. The Austrian study found that 56 percent of young Austrians were for their country’s EU membership. The poll also found that young Slovaks were the most willing in central Europe to work abroad. Some 84 percent of Slovaks said they would consider moving abroad to work, while 73 percent of Czechs said they would consider a stint working in a foreign country.
