US experts to visit Czech Republic over radar base

The Czech Defence Ministry has revealed that US specialists on anti-missile defence will begin a five-day visit to the Czech Republic on Monday. The experts will be in the Czech Republic to further assess further technical specifications for a possible US radar base in the Brdy military zone in Central Bohemia. Earlier this week, the US began negotiations with the Czech government on the possibility of the Czech Republic hosting such a base, which would be part of a broader defence shield, including a rocket base in Poland. Negotiations between the US and the Czech Republic are expected to continue until the end of the year.
