Eastern EU members refuse migrant quotas: Prague

Prague

Four eastern EU members meeting Friday in Prague stuck to their rejection of compulsory quotas for migrants proposed earlier this week by the European Commission.

"We're convinced that as countries we should keep control over the number of those we are able to accept and then offer them support," Czech Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek told reporters at a joint press conference with his Hungarian, Polish and Slovak counterparts.
