Mayors in Brdy region dissatisfied with information on radar base

Meanwhile, the mayors of municipalities in the west-Bohemian Brdy region, which is the proposed site of the aforementioned US radar base, have expressed their dissatisfaction with information presented to them after a meeting on Friday with Ministry of Defence officials on the issue.

Most of the municipal representatives said in the wake of the meeting that they had not received any new information concerning the establishment of a US radar facility in the area. They cited the potential health hazards posed by the radar, the status of US military personnel on Czech territory, and the radar base's impact on tourism and real estate prices in the region as major areas of concern.

The Minister of Defence Vlasta Parkanova has promised more detailed studies of the proposed radar base's effect on the region.
