PRAGUE (Sputnik) — The Czech Republic was among Eastern European countries that rebelled against a decision by the European Commission in Brussels to impose a scheme on EU member states that would see them take in migrants to ease the burden on Italy and Greece.
"We will discuss a new model of European cooperation based on a tightly-knit union of sovereign nations free from the Brussels dictatorship and pursuing mutual benefit," Czech right-wing party SPD co-founder Tomio Okamura said.

Okamura, whose Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) was elected to the Czech parliament in October on its anti-immigrant and Euroskeptic platform, said Marine Le Pen of France’s National Front and Geert Wilders of the Dutch Party for Freedom, were expected to attend the meeting on December 15-16.
Matteo Salvini’s Lega Nord from Italy and the Austrian Freedom Party are also likely to send their senior members.
