Mayors from Brdy to complain to EP about radar

Mayors of the towns and villages in the Brdy Hills, an area southwest of Prague which has been selected as the site of a US radar base on Czech soil, are planning to file a complaint against the Czech government during their visit to the European Parliament next year. The mayors have been invited to visit the EP in February to provide their opinion on the stationing of the radar base in the Brdy military zone. The mayors have already sent a letter to US President-Elect Barack Obama asking him to reconsider the plan. Most of the villages in the Brdy area have rejected the radar base in local referendums and opinion polls indicate that the majority of Czechs do not want the US radar on Czech territory.
