Germany supports positioning of U.S. radar on Czech soil

German Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung has said that Germany supports positioning of a U.S. radar base in the Czech Republic. During a meeting with his Czech counterpart Vlasta Parkanová in Prague on Thursday, Mr Jung also said his country believed that the anti-missile shield should be part of the NATO defence system. The Czech Republic is set to sign an agreement with the United States on hosting the base while polls have repeatedly suggested that the most Czechs are against it.
