Abstract

Abstract This paper describes new legislation relating to citizenship of the Czech Republic, namely Act No 186/2013 Coll, and shows how wide the gap is between the law and the applicants’ expectations. It is based on an analysis of more than 1,600 naturalisation decisions from 2013–2016. This analysis made it possible to draw the conclusion that the decisive aspects for naturalisation are different from those perceived as important by the applicants themselves. The acquisition of Czech citizenship is not, in practice, conditional to making any extraordinary contribution or to a higher level of integration. The stipulated condition for naturalisation in the Czech Republic is the absence of any obstacle defined by the law. One of these possible obstacles is the conclusion that the applicant poses a risk to state security. Recently, there seems to be a trend, where particular attention is devoted to this criterion reflecting the actual fear of society.
捷克共和国的入籍——公民与国家之间的鸿沟
本文描述了与捷克共和国公民身份有关的新立法,即第186/2013 Coll号法案,并展示了法律与申请人期望之间的差距有多大。该报告是基于对2013年至2016年超过1600个入籍决定的分析。这一分析使我们有可能得出这样的结论,即归化的决定性方面与申请人自己认为重要的方面不同。实际上,取得捷克国籍并不以作出任何特别贡献或更高程度的融入为条件。捷克共和国入籍的规定条件是没有法律规定的任何障碍。这些可能的障碍之一是申请人对国家安全构成风险的结论。最近,似乎出现了一种趋势,即特别关注反映社会实际恐惧的这一标准。
