Prime minister visits Estonia

Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolánek is on a one-day visit to Estonia where he is holding a series of meetings with senior government officials. The two sides are discussing trade relations, missile-defense issues and visa-free travel to the United States. Both countries recently signed memoranda in Washington opening the way for visa-free travel to the US for their citizens. Estonian Prime Minister Andrus Ansip said he would welcome the siting of a US radar base in the Czech Republic saying it would improve security on the whole European continent.
