The Czech Republic has said it will stop taking in migrants under the EU scheme to relocate across the Union asylum seekers who arrived in Greece and Italy. The government on Monday said the decision was taken because of security concerns. Under the plan agreed to in 2015, each member state is to admit a certain quota from the 160,000 migrants who are stranded in Greece and Italy, but several countries, including Hungary and the Czech Republic, have come out against the plan and refused to agree to the quota numbers.
