Summary/Abstract: The immigration crisis has in recent years become the leitmotif of electoral campaigns in the states of the Three Seas Initiative. Politicians do not avoid anti-immigration rhetoric, presenting immigration, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, as the greatest threat to their countries today. They create an extremely negative image of immigrants coming to Europe, generally identified as Muslims. This was the case, e.g. during the last elections in Hungary, Slovakia or the Czech Republic. This last case is the subject of analysis in this article. The author investigates the causes and effects of this phenomenon and highlights the topics related to immigration that dominated the 2017 and 2018 electoral campaigns.
