Czech PM says it is impossible to accept migrant quotas

Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka discussed the migrant crisis over the phone on Sunday with the EC President Jean-Claude Juncker stressing the need for a compromise solution which would not entail some EU members being outvoted on the matter of refugee quotas. The Czech head of cabinet said it was essential to increase security on the EU’s outer borders so as to stop the uncontrolled influx of migrants. Prime Minister Sobotka told Czech Television earlier that the Czech Republic cannot retreat from its stance rejecting mandatory migrant quotas although it was ready to help on a voluntary basis.
