US experts to inspect potential radar site

A team of American experts are expected to arrive in the Czech Republic on Monday to examine the conditions for stationing a possible US radar base close to the village of Misov, some 90 kilometres southwest of Prague, which has been selected as the most suitable location. Municipalities near the Brdy military area, where the radar base is to be located, are against the plan, fearing the radar could adversely affect the environment or the health of local residents. They have repeatedly rejected the base in locally- held referenda.
