In the Czech Republic there are 410,076 3rd country nationals. Today, it is by far the most attractive destination for migrants in post-communist Central and Eastern Europe. Most of them come from Ukraine, Vietnam and Russia. The Czech Republic has a history of helping refugees -  many citizens from the former Yugoslavia applied for asylum in the 1990s. Despite partial successes in the field of integration (such as regional integration centres), Czech integration policy still lacks services on a local level, nor does it target all types of migrants in various life situations.

Palermo, the capital of Sicily is famous for its local street markets and varied architecture. Palermo is a bridge between Africa and Europe and one of the first destinations where migrants and refugees arrive in Europe. Once perceived as the Mafia’s hometown, it is now a “capital of rights, welcoming, tolerance, and culture". Few Italian cities appear as welcoming to migrants as Palermo. With residents from 127 countries and an immigrant population that has almost tripled in nearly two decades, to 24,000, Palermo is Italy's most ethnically and socioculturally diverse city. Palermo therefore offers a rich array of local policies and initiatives benefiting migrants.

Today, migrants are an important and stable part of the Prague population - every 7th inhabitant of Prague is a foreigner. Also, foreigners in Prague and the Central Bohemian Region make up half of all foreign nationals in the entire Czech Republic. Prague has always been a multicultural capital for centuries and even today retains its truly diverse character! Every year, the Czech Republic becomes a new home for an increasing number of foreigners and thus many municipal and non-governmental services and organisations helping migrants are concentrated here.
