CZECH REPUBLIC INTELLIGENCE AGENCY : ANNUAL REPORT 2015

Their arrival had a negative impact on public order and on security and administrative procedures both in countries along the main migration routes and in destination countries. The Czech Republic is located in a heavily transited area of Central Europe and is faced by the same migration threats as France, Belgium and Germany.”
