LN: Prague could request removal of US radar base at any time

The Czech Republic will be able to ask the United States to remove a radar base the US is planning to build in central Bohemia, Lidove noviny reported. The planned contract on the base will be open-ended and can be terminated by either country at any time, it said. An unnamed source told the daily that Washington was aware political changes in the Czech Republic could necessitate the removal of the base within a few months. Prague is set to decide early next year whether to allow the base, which would be part of a US global anti-missile defence system.
