Current Affairs Czech president’s position on Lisbon hard for Brussels to comprehend, says Czech Radio correspondent
If the Czech Constitutional Court finds that the EU’s Lisbon treaty is in line with Czech law, the country’s president, Václav Klaus, would have to sign ratification, bringing the document into effect for the whole of Europe. But on Friday Mr Klaus made international headlines when he said he would only do so on one condition: that a special guarantee is included, preventing any possible property claims from ethnic Germans expelled from Bohemia and Moravia after WWII. So, how is the rest of the EU reacting to this latest move on the part of the Eurosceptic Czech president? That’s a question Radio Prague put to Czech Radio’s correspondent in Brussels, Ondřej Houska.
