Current Affairs Number of Czech workers moving to Britain almost halves

The United Kingdom was one of only three countries to open its doors to workers from the Czech Republic and other new member states when the EU enlarged in 2004. Since that time, an average of 3,000 Czechs have moved to the UK every three months. But, according to the British Home Office, that figure plummeted by nearly 50 percent in the second quarter of this year. The drop is being attributed to the strength of the crown, and changing trends in Czechs’ migration habits.
