Coming up in this week's Insight Central Europe - NATO held its first ever summit behind the old Iron Curtain this week to take decisions that have profoundly altered the Western military alliance. The summit in Prague expanded NATO's membership into what was once Soviet territory and approved a strategic shift in its military focus toward new threats from terrorism and rogue states.

The two-day meeting in the Czech capital invited seven former communist states to join the alliance - Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria and Romania.

In the program we'll report on how Slovakia is shaping up for NATO membership, how Slovenia is a little unsure and how Poland and Hungary are marching in step with the United States.

Also: we'll hear the voice of protestors on the streets of Prague. And why Austria is still saying no to NATO.
