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.
