Topolanek, commenting on today's Russian-U.S.
negotiations in Moscow that touched on the U.S. missile shield in Central Europe, said Czech experts should also have the opportunity to monitor similar Russian facilities. "It will be no permanent state, but a possibility to bilaterally control facilities of this type for both Czech specialists on Russian soil and for Russian specialists on Czech territory. This Russian jets 'intercepted by US' ...
Czech-U.S. radar treaty to include chapter on link with NATO ... is acceptable for us," Topolanek said. Russia is opposed to the building of the U.S. radar base in the Czech Republic and a silo for ten interceptor missiles in Poland, saying they pose a threat to it. The radar base is opposed by some 70 percent of Czech citizens. Topolanek said he and U.S. President George W. Bush agreed during their recent meeting in Washington that the Czech Republic would always decide on possible Russian inspections.
