The head of the Czech Consulate in Manchester, Ivo Losman, says that most Czechs have successfully applied for settled status amid the UK's exit from the EU.
With the post-Brexit transition period due to end in less than two weeks’ time, what does the situation look like for the thousands of Czechs living and working in Britain, particularly the large Czech Roma community? Do most of them plan to stay in the UK? And will they manage to apply for settled status in time?

According to the estimates of the Czech Foreign Ministry, there are over 100,000 Czechs living in the United Kingdom and those who plan to stay have just over six months to register for “settled status” in order to be allowed to remain resident in the country post-Brexit.
