The article focuses on integration of resettlers - Volhynian Czechs - into the Czech society. This community of reemigrants began to return to their mother country in 1991 when also humanitarian aid programme was launched. The analysis is based on a questionnaire survey within the resettlers, experience and databases of state institutions and non-governmental organizations. How the resettlers adjust their lives to conditions in the Czech Republic and which factors influence most the migration/integration policies in the Czech Republic is formulated in the conclusion.
