President Milos Zeman claimed that migrants are not in desperate need, but are economically wealthy and are using their children in order to gain sympathy from Europe.
His outburst comes just days after the United Nation's human rights chief accused Prague of systematically detaining migrants and refugees in degrading conditions to put off others.
In his latest outburst, Zeman accused the thousands of refugees and economic migrants who have arrived in Europe this year of being 'wealthy', something which he claims is proven by the fact that they have smartphones.
He accused them of risking their children's lives crossing the Mediterranean in order to use them to secure a right to remain in the EU.
