Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present partial results of the survey carried out within the project Erasmus+ č. 2016-1-SK01-KA204-022518 and point out current state of local public administration readiness to implement migrant policy. Data were obtained through the questionnaire survey focused on assessment of specific topics regarding to migration and diversity by local public administration representatives from the Košice region. Based on the initial question, range of migration and diversity understanding by respondents was evaluated. The results confirm findings from other surveys. Respondents do not have a clear idea what the term migration and diversity include. They have negative perception and they ranked it as very current. They report that impacts of migration and diversity are not desirable at local level and these topics do not require high managerial skills. The results did not show readiness of respondents to effective management of migration and diversity and they raise the question if interventions from the central tier will be implemented with required impacts.
