As a part of cooperation between Polish, Slovak, Czech and Hungarian research centres, residents of the Visegrad Group countries were asked about their opinions on consequences of an increase in the number of immigrants. It appeared that an inflow of immigrants causes worries, e.g. over maintaining their own cultural distinctiveness. These worries are most common in the Czech Republic where three fourth of its residents believe that with an increase in immigration the Czechs may lose their culture. In Hungary and Slovakia about two thirds of interviewees share worries regarding threats for their culture (accordingly 65% and 68%). In Poland, the number of those who do not see a danger for cultural identity from immigrants overweighs the number of those who see such a danger (50% to 44%).

More on that issue can be found in the coming soon CBOS report in Polish.
