Moreover, mobile military patrols and military police would permanently guard the area, she said. The spot height 718 in the Brdy military district has been surrounded with a three-kilometre concertina wire fence. The barrier was constructed within standard sapper training this week, Ruzickova said. The barrier would be removed when it would not be needed to guard the site of the base anymore. The military today returned to Greenpeace activists the rest of the things seized at the spot height 718 after soldiers forced the activists to leave the area on Monday. Military police spokesman Jan Cermak said most of the things were returned to Greenpeace on Wednesday, but that the activists claimed that they still Taxes remain problem in Czech-U.S.

The military police found the remaining items at the spot height and returned them to the activists, Cermak said. Greenpeace strongly criticised the construction of the concertina wire obstacle, saying migrating deer would get injured. "The ideas of peace and non-violence cannot be stopped by a fence," Jan Pinos from Greenpeace said. The planned radar base, along with a base for interceptor missiles in Poland, would be part of the U.S. missile defence shield that is to protect the United States and a large part of Europe against missiles that "rogue" states like Iran might launch. The U.S. radar project is opposed by two-thirds of Czechs and the left-wing opposition. The Czech centre-right government has completed its talks with the United States on the main radar treaty and it is reportedly close to completing negotiations on the complementary SOFA treaty, dealing with U.S. soldiers' status on Czech territory. According to unofficial information, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is to arrive in Prague and sign the U.S.-Czech the main treaty or both of them on July 10.
