The Czech Republic will carry out all European requirements with regard to the migrant crisis, Foreign Minister Lubomir Zaoralek said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Tuesday, EU interior ministers voted in favor of relocating 120,000 refugees in the European Union. The Czech Republic is among those EU states opposed to the obligatory quotas mandated by the European Commission, insisting instead on a voluntary approach.

"We will take on the duties that come from all European decisions on refugees, no one should doubt it," Zaoralek said.

According to the Czech foreign minister, only combined and cooperative action within the EU can ease the current migration crisis.
