IOM Prague published the Handbook of the Czech transformation experience in the field of migration management and the reintegration mechanisms in Russian language.
The Handbook was published thanks to the funding of the projects of Czech development cooperation implemented by IOM Prague for the Department of Asylum and Migration Policies of the Czech Ministry of Interior. The Handbook transforms the topics of the seminars and trainings organized by IOM Prague and IOM partner missions during the past years. The objective of this Handbook is to sustainably deliver the Czech transformation experience which is due to the historical links and context similar to the experience of the Republic of Moldova, countries of South Caucasus and Central Asia.
