Head of Czech Chamber of Commerce supports fund for refugees

A fund to aid asylum seekers should be created in case their influx to the Czech Republic increases, head of the Czech Chamber of Commerce Vladimír Dlouhý said at a press conference on the migration crisis on Wednesday. Mr Dlouhý suggested both firms and the state should contribute to the fund that would finance the migrants’ education and requalification, adding that workers in some professions were lacking in the Czech Republic. Mr Dlouhý said that instead of trying to prevent the influx of immigrants, the country should be looking at more efficient solutions to the problem.
