Area of External Relations (JHA RELEX)
The current global security challenges require the EU to cooperate in justice and interior affairs with third countries and international organizations in order to strenghten its internal security. For this reason the EU develops external dimension of Justice and Home Affairs (JHA RELEX).
The coordination of this agenda is rather challenging due to its cross-disciplinary nature. The competences in this field are shared among the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the Government. During the Czech EU Presidency the Ministry of the Interior will be the main coordinator of JHA RELEX in close cooperation with the above mentioned national institutions and the Permanent Representation of the Czech Republic to the European Union.
