Czech official warns about U.S.-reduced base finance ... Poland, where a base for ten interceptor missiles is to be placed, have an ideal position for the location of the U.S. missile defence shield. The Czech centre-right government favours the project, while the left opposition and 70 percent of Czech citizens are opposed to the base, according to public opinion polls. Besides the main agreement on the construction of the radar base, the Czech government also wants a treaty to be signed that would define the legal conditions for the stay of U.S. troops in the Czech Republic. The possible stationing of the radar base in the Czech Republic also has to be approved by Czech parliament.
