Poll: 50 percent of Czechs think number of foreigners living in CR is high

A new poll by the CVVM agency suggests that every second Czech believes the number of foreigners living in the Czech Republic is high. Most respondents think these foreigners should assimilate in Czech society as much as possible. According to last year's data, around 2.5 percent of the country's population have a foreign nationality. Most foreigners live in the capital Prague. In neighbouring Austria, foreigners make up around 10 percent of the population.
