That’s the promise Czechs received on Monday after an informal meeting of EU interior ministers. Ottawa re-introduced visas for Czech citizens in July due to an increasing numbers of Czech Romanies seeking asylum in Canada and ever since the Czech authorities have been pushing to get the decision reversed. But some say the Czech Republic should deal with the problems that are making Czechs leave the country in the first place.
