Government to set up committee for allocating investment in Brdy region

Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek is expected to submit to the government a proposal on Wednesday to set up a special committee to oversee the development of the Brdy region, an area which US military experts have selected for the construction of a radar base. Earlier this month, the cabinet promised local mayors it will set up a committee responsible for allocating investment in the region's infrastructure. The government says it plans to invest hundreds of millions of crowns in the region regardless of whether the radar base is built or not.
