Summary/Abstract: A paper is focusing on discourse analysis of Czech and Polish internet discussions after case of Aquarius ship in June 2018. Author is using discourse analysis to merge all comments in one heterogenic text and to show how discussion about migration looks like in case of most Eurosceptic society of Eastern Europe (Czech Republic) and in most Eurooptimist society (Poland). Discourse analysis together with tools of quantitative analysis (software AnrConc) shows that despite differences between Czechs and Poles, both nations feels themselves as part of European community. It was shown as well, that in both nations there is strong need to find irrational explanations of migrant crisis.
