According to the Czech interior minister Milan Chovanec, from 2 September 2015, Czech Republic was offering asylum to every Syrian caught by the police notwithstanding the Dublin Regulation: out of about 1,300 apprehended until 9 September, only 60 decided to apply for asylum in the Czech Republic, with the rest of them continuing to Germany or elsewhere.
Den 2. september 2015 oplyste den tjekkiske indenrigsminister Milan Chovanec, at Tjekkiet, på trods af Dublin-forordningen, ville tilbyde asyl til alle syriske flygtninge som politiet havde pågrebet: ud af omkring 1.300 pågrebene frem til den 9. september valgte kun 60 besluttet at søge om asyl i Tjekkiet, mens resten af flygtningene fortsatte til Tyskland eller andre steder.
