Klaus discusses EU constitution, US bases with Kaczynski in Warsaw

On Thursday President Klaus discussed the EU constitution with his Polish counterpart, Lech Kaczynski, in Warsaw. Both men agreed that non-acceptance of the document would not lead the EU into crisis. The two presidents also discussed the United States plan to build parts of its global missile defence programme in their countries. A radar base will be built in Brdy, central Bohemia if approved by the Czech parliament, while a missile interceptor base could be built in Poland. Mr Kaczynski said the two countries would co-ordinate their approach to the project.
