Abstract: Our analysis focuses on integration policies of two countries, specifically Czech Republic and Slovakia. Analysis explores Czech and Slovak integration policies and government documents on Immigration. The aim of the article is to find out how two states, which in the past formed one state, now approach the policy of integration of foreigners. In our analysis, we assume that due to the higher number of migrants living in the Czech Republic and the longer tradition of migration processes, the Czech Republic has a more sophisticated integration policy. On the other hand, Slovak Republic has an insufficient level of integration policymaking not only at the national level, but also at local and municipality levels. With help of data from MIPEX, the analysis confirms or refutes our assumptions about more sophisticated Czech integration policy.
