Brussels has threatened to take the Czech Republic to court after its government announced its withdrawal from the Commission scheme to force European Union (EU) countries to welcome migrants from the third world. Citing security issues, Czech Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said on Monday the Visegrád nation will not be resettling any more of the quota of 2,691 migrants demanded by the scheme, having so far taken just a dozen people who arrived uninvited to Italy and Greece on boats.
“Due to the aggravated security situation and the dysfunctionality of the whole system, the government approved… a proposal to halt this system for the Czech Republic,” Chovanec told a news conference following a cabinet meeting.
“That means the Czech Republic will not be asking for migrants to be relocated from Greece and Italy.”
In April, Brussels threatened to take legal action against countries refusing to go along with the legally binding EU scheme, which has been fiercely contested in Central and Eastern Europe, with Hungary and Slovakia challenging the plans in court.
Following the minister’s announcement, the European Commission warned it could open infringement proceedings against countries who reject its redistribution plan as early as next week.
In an interview with Czech tabloid Blesk published Tuesday, EU president Jean-Claude Juncker demanded all nations in Europe shoulder “solidarity and responsibility” when it comes to migration.
Responding to Brussels’ threats to nations wanting sovereignty over their borders, Chovanec said in April the Czech Republic would rather face sanctions than be forced to take migrants. He cited security concerns over the fact asylum seekers set to be forced upon Czech taxpayers were proving incapable even of staying put in Italy and Greece whilst security checks were processed.

Merkel won’t be happy.....
The Visegrad Countries (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary) are REAL Europe.
Once again The Donald is right. MAGA!
And how many divisions can Brussels muster up to enforce their little edict. None? Well then... f*** 'em.
Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. They want to stay in existence, unlike the rest of Europe, which is bringing in fast-breeding savages to replace the complacent inhabitants.
Is Czechoslavakia part of the Sudentenland?
The Europeans have a pretty successful history of stabbing Czech people in the back... but you’re right, what are they going to do?
Eastern Europe and Russia. Who woulda thunk it?
Plus it will hurt their tourism industry as people wishing to travel to Europe hate having their trips ruined by being stabbed or blown up, so would prefer smarter countries like the Czech Republic.
Everyone should tell Brussels to go to hell.
And the former Communist countries will lead the way.......I pray Western Europe will heed the warning.
They do make good beer.
And go figure the folks who actually lived under tyranny in the 20th century under Soviet rule are the only Europeans who are trying to safeguard their nations and their freedom.
Merkel will invade Again
Poland is great. And you’ll love the prices.
Czechoslovakia existed from 1918-1992. It peacefully separated into the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 1993 4 years after the Iron Curtain fell. Hitler annexed the Sudentenland, western Czechoslovakia in 1938.
They understand what it is to lose your freedom.
Merkel will want to create a EU army soon.
