Zeman criticized the EU's plans to remit €3 billion to Turkey for the upkeep of 2 million refugees stranded on its territory, since Ankara is supposed to block the road to Europe for them, TASS reported.
He believes Turkey is capable of hosting the refugees on its territory, in no small a measure because it shares religion with them.
He added that the Turkish ambassador to the Czech Republic was likely to file a note of protest with the Prague Castle.
