Czech ex-leader wants vote on migrant quotas

Czech government said it would respect decision of Eu ministers

25 September, 14:08
(ANSA-AP) - BUDAPEST - Former Czech President Vaclav Klaus, a renowned Euro-skeptic, says a nationwide referendum or early election should be called over a European Union decision to redistribute 120,000 asylum-seekers in member states.

The decision was approved by EU ministers this week despite opposition from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania.

Slovakia is planning to challenge that but the Czech government said it would respect it. (ANSA).
