Prague abandons plans to sue EU over refugee quotas

Having considered taking the EU to court over the decision to distribute 120,000 refugees across the bloc, the Czech Republic finally decided to de-escalate tensions with Brussels. EurActiv.cz reports.

We are not in favour of and disagree with imposition of mandatory quotas of asylum seekers, but the migration crisis must not open a rift within the EU. This is what the Czech Prime Minister, Bohuslav Sobotka, told his counterparts at the EU summit on the night of 23 September.
