German aid to fight `illegal' immigration: the German government
is giving DM 60 million in financial aid to the Czech Republic
to help combat `illegal' immigration. The funds will be used to
improve surveillance of the joint border and improve the exchange
of data on migration. The grant will be paid over three years.
Prague Post, 14.9.94. Under the law on Czech citizenship passed
on 1 January 1993 Roma people in the country have to obtain Czech
citizenship or a residence permit. The Tolerance Foundation says
this ignores undertakings by the government when it became a
member of the Council of Europe which said that all former
Czechoslovak residents should have full citizenship. FIDH
