The move represents the county’s response to a June proposal that EU countries voluntarily accept around 60,000 migrants from North Africa and the Middle East. The deal also sees EU nations, including the Czech Republic, helping to ease the strain on refugee camps in countries such as Jordan, currently housing those who have fled the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Iraq. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/uprchlici_syrie_2.jpg?timestamp=1590662951 Czech Republic to take in 1,500 migrants in “one-off” gesture of solidarity https://english.radio.cz/czech-republic-take-1500-migrants-one-gesture-solidarity-8254683 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
