Almost two hundred members of the Czech community in Kazakhstan will now be able to return to their homeland. The government this week approved a programme which will involve the repatriation of 170 Kazakhstani Czechs. As part of a similar scheme, several hundred Czechs moved back from Kazakhstan in the 1990s. The Czechs first started settling in Kazakhstan in the mid-19th century. When the current repatriation programme concludes there will be no Czechs left in Kazakhstan.
