Greenpeace launch campaign against U.S. radar

Members of the Czech branch of Greenpeace gathered outside the Czech Government Office on Wednesday morning to stage a scene mocking the government’s approach to the U.S. plan to build radar on Czech territory as part of a broader missile defense system. The event opened a Greenpeace campaign presenting the organisation’s view on the U.S. project. The radar base, to complement a missile base in neighbouring Poland, is to be positioned in the Brdy military area some 90 km southwest of Prague. The Czech government is currently negotiating with the U.S. - a final decision is to be taken next year.
