Justice Ministry: Commission on Roma immigration no longer necessary
A special commission which was set up to prevent mass immigration of
Roma from neighbouring Slovakia will cease to exist, a spokesman for
the Justice Ministry has said. He added that the fears of a mass influx
of Roma economic migrants, following the cuts in social benefits in
Slovakia and EU accession, have not materialised. In recent years,
whole families moved over to live with their relatives in the Czech
Republic hoping to improve their living standard. According to the
Labour and Social Affairs Ministry the immigration only worsened the
living conditions of the Czech Roma population as they now live in
overcrowded flats, pay extra expenses, and crime, illegal money-lending
and illegal employment are on the rise in the community.
