PRAGUE (Sputnik) — In September 2015, the EU interior ministers, by a qualified majority, approved a plan to redistribute some 160,000 refugees throughout the bloc based on a quota system proposed by the European Commission. In December, Slovakia filed a lawsuit at the European Court of Justice against the EU mandatory mechanism.
"Of course, this [the review of legal action] would receive a positive response," Sefcovic told the Radio Expres broadcaster.
Sefcovic stressed that the migrant crisis would be one of the main topics during the six-month presidency of Slovakia.
In recent months, Europe has been grappling with a major influx of migrants. The majority of the asylum seekers come from conflict-torn countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
Slovakia was one of the states in Europe, along with Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary that strictly opposed the implementation of the mandatory EU quota scheme to relocate thousands of refugees throughout the bloc.
