Babis previously lauded the EU’s step to take a fresh look at the
contentious quota system presupposing that every country should accept
some concrete number of refugees from developing countries and assist
them on European territory.
Illegal
migration from Muslim countries of Northern Africa and the Middle East
pose danger to European civilization based on Christian foundations,
Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis told the Prague TV channel Prima.
In late July, the Czech prime minister stressed the necessity
to counter illegal migration “at all costs.” Referring to the European
Commission’s proposal to encourage member states to accept migrants, he
noted that the commission was wrong in it assessment of the current
state of affairs in the bloc. He asserted that migrants should be
provided help in their own countries.
In his June statement, Babis hailed the backpedaling from the controversial quotas system, which stipulated that all member states are obliged to take in a certain number of refugees.

“We [in the Czech Republic] take illegal migration as a threat to the European civilization,” he stressed.
“We don’t want to live [in our home] like people live in Africa or
the Middle East. We must stop [immigration from Muslim states]. If
Frenchmen, the Dutch or Belgians want to obtain [more Daesh* supporters]
than they have today, it’s up to them. ” Babis went on to address the
border issue, speaking out for tightening the EU’s external borders and
assisting Libyan authorities in their battle against refugees trying
to relocate from Africa to Europe. He believes that the stability of the
political and economic life in Libya is a key goal for the EU in its
struggle against illegal migration.

“Libyan border security is very effective [in
battling illegal refugees,] but there is no unified government in the
country. We should do our best to see it set up there and the EU reach a
similar deal with them [to halt illegal migration ] as they did
with Turkey, ” the premier rounded off.
Separately, Babis hailed the change in the German authorities’
approach towards giving asylum to Muslim refugees. He emphasized that
the German government set about revising its policies, which were
previously in migrants’ favor, in wake of Germans protesting
against Muslim migrants in the country.
