Slovakia plans to accept "only Christian" migrants

Slovak Interior Ministry spokesman Ivan Netik said Muslims would not be accepted because they would not feel at home, and "denied the move was discriminatory and said it was intended to ensure community cohesion."

The report added that UNHCR has called on countries to take an "inclusive approach" to relocation.

"We want to really help Europe with this migration wave but... we are only a transit country and the people don't want to stay in Slovakia. We could take 800 Muslims but we don't have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?," Metik has been quoted as telling BBC.
