The foreign ministers of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia will meet their counterparts from Germany and Luxembourg in Prague on Friday to discuss Europe's migrant crisis, the Czech foreign ministry said.

The meeting "shall contribute to better mutual understanding among EU member states in (the light of) some differing views concerning the solution of the current migration crisis," it said in a statement.

The European Union's eastern members have taken the hardest stance against compulsory quotas proposed by the EU Commission -- and championed by Germany -- to ensure fair distribution of refugees among the 28-member bloc.
