Current Affairs Number of foreigners staying legally in Czech Republic jumps 10 percent in one year
On Monday, the Ministry of the Interior released its report on migration for the year 2008, which showed that there are currently 438,000 foreigners residing legally in the Czech Republic. That number is over 10 percent higher than for the previous year – and nearly twice as many as six years ago. To get an idea of some of the issues that these latest immigration figures raise, I spoke with Eva Dohnalová, head of the nongovernmental organisation Berkat, which provides social services for immigrants. I began by asking her if there was any thing new to be gleaned from the numbers.
