PRAGUE (Reuters) - Europe's migration problems will be the top voter concern in European Union elections next May, drawing out a silent majority of anti-immigration voters, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis said.

Babis said the problems in the bloc's border-free Schengen zone were more urgent than those in the euro zone currency group.
