Czech migration policy under new EU pact draws criticism and legal scrutiny

The EU migration pact entered into force on 12 June 2026, introducing new screening, border, asylum and return procedures at the Union’s external frontiers. Analysts warn that without solid solidarity from member states, especially those on the migration route such as Greece, Italy and Spain, the procedures may falter and could lead to large numbers of asylum seekers being detained, including families with children. The Czech Republic is singled out for its perceived lack of support, raising concerns that nationalist politicians may exploit the issue for political gain.

Separately, the Czech Ministry of the Interior issued a public notice announcing the cancellation of a permanent‑residence permit for Mongolian national Khaliunbold Aylaguu. Because the authorities have no known address for the individual, the related documents – including a notice of administrative proceedings and a decision appointing a guardian – will be made available for collection at the ministry’s office in Jihlava. The notice follows Czech law governing foreign nationals’ residence status.
