Czechs welcome Polish-US missile deal

Czech Deputy Foreign Minister Tomáš Pojar has welcomed Poland’s decision to host US interceptor missiles on its territory, as part of Washington’s missile defense shield. The Czech government has committed to hosting a US tracking radar on its territory which is likewise part of the US missile defense programme. Although both Prague and Warsaw have now reached agreement with Washington, its missile defense plans for Central Europe still need to be approved by the two countries’ parliaments.
