Czech and US experts discuss legal framework of US radar base

Talks between Czech and US negotiators regarding the legal framework of a planned US radar base on the Czech territory started in Prague today. The talks are focusing on the legal status of the base and its staff, as well as access by Czechs, the impact on traffic in the radar's surroundings, and the use of weapons. The talks will end on Wednesday but further negotiations will continue in the coming months. According to US experts, the most suitable place for stationing the US radar base, part of a broader missile defence shield, is the village of Misov in the Brdy military zone, some 90 kilometres southwest of Prague.
