It’s true that this is not a new issue. Both international organizations, such as the EU and the Council of Europe, as well as domestic NGOs, have long criticized this problem. The Commission has previously pointed out that the Czech Republic is failing to comply with its obligations under EU anti-discrimination laws. It is a logical step, according to European law, that the case is now moving forward. If nothing changes soon, Czechia can expect the European Commission to file a lawsuit in the Court of Justice of the European Union.
