Government earmarks more than 60 million crowns for repatriation of ethnic Czechs

The Czech government has earmarked 66 million crowns for the repatriation of ethnic Czechs from around the world; most notably the funds could be used by Czechs in Ukraine’s western province of Volhynia who had sought help to return. Those who apply for assistance in relocating to the Czech Republic can apply for up to one year’s paid accommodation, as well as financial help of up to 50 thousand crowns for adults and 20 thousand for minors. A Catholic charity could further aid those returning to the country, assisting in securing health care, school enrolment, language courses or job searches.
