192 foreigners apply for voluntary return program

On Friday, in the second phase of a project that offers foreigners living in the Czech Republic free air fare and an 8000 crown support fee to return home, almost 200 have volunteered to return to their native country. The program assisting foreigners who have lost their job due to the financial crisis was initiated to lower the risk of crime related to unemployment in foreign residents. During the project’s first phase, almost 2000 foreigners took advantage of the offer. In both phases, residents from Mongolia were the ethnic group that took advantage of the offer the most.
