Drahomira Miklosova, the mayor of Obrnice, wants to be able to decide who can live in her town. She has repeatedly said the return of large numbers of Roma families from England is a serious issue. "You can try to integrate and start a variety of programs to make up for a certain percentage of Roma citizens in the community, but if we reach about 50 percent, it becomes unmanageable," she said.
