Poll: opposition to radar base up

A new poll by CVVM has suggested that opposition to a planned US anti-missile radar system in the country has grown. Released on Thursday, the poll suggests that those opposed now number 70 percent, up from 65 percent in January. More than 1,100 individuals - aged 15 and older - took part in the poll. The Czech government has signed two treaties with the US on the stationing of its radar base, but it is unclear whether the project will go ahead. It may be put on hold by Washington, pursuing improved relations with Russia. The deal has also not be ratified by the Czech lower house.
