The meeting is expected to result in adopting a joint declaration on the issue, she added.

On Thursday, the European Parliament approved a plan to relocate 120,000 migrants throughout the EU member countries. The Visegrad Group members oppose such an approach as a way of resolving the refugee crisis.

Over 500,000 migrants and refugees have arrived in the European Union since the beginning of 2015, according to the European Commission.
