Government to hire PR firm to head radar campaign

In related news, the Czech government has revealed it is planning to hire a public relations firm to run a public campaign on missile defense to try and win over a sceptical Czech public. Polls have consistently shown that about two-thirds of Czechs remain opposed to the idea of a US radar base on Czech territory. So far, attempts - including a visit by US President George W Bush in June - have failed to make a difference. According to defense issues spokesman Tomas Klvana, five firms are vying to head the radar campaign.
