EU opens legal case against Warsaw, Budapest, Prague over migration

The European Union's executive launched legal cases on Tuesday against Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for not taking in asylum-seekers under a 2015 plan, a sharp escalation in the bloc's divisive migration feuds.

"Regrettably, despite ... repeated calls, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, in breach of their legal obligations stemming ... and their commitments to Greece, Italy and other member states, have not yet taken the necessary action," the Commission said in a statement.

"Against this background ... the Commission has decided to launch infringement procedures against these three Member States."
