Christian Democrats ready to support US radar base

Christian Democrats generally agree with the stationing of the US radar base in the country, but they will only adopt a final stand after they are informed about the Czech-US agreements concerning the radar, head of the Christian Democratic Party Pavel Severa announced on Tuesday. “The condition that the installation should be part of a NATO defence system was fulfilled,” Mr Severa said after talks with Foreign minister Karel Schwarzenberg, Defence Minister Vlasta Parkanová and Czech ambassador to NATO Stefan Fuele. The Czech opposition as well as some member of the Green Party are against the plan.
