Rice is to arrive in Ferguson has confidence in Bolton ...
Against the grain ... the Czech Republic in early July to sign the main bilateral treaty on conditions of the radar base.
However, the exact date is not known yet. Speculations emerged that she would arrive in Prague on July 9 or 10. "We would like to welcome her by a big protest rally," Novomestska said. The group has provided information on the radar in a tent on Wenceslas square since Monday, and wants to keep it on the square by the end of August. The radar opponents also reiterated that they demand that a referendum be held on the radar base. They say their petition with this demand has been signed by over 100,000 Czech citizens. The United States wants to build the radar base on the Brdy military grounds, 90 km southwest of Prague, and a base with ten interceptor missiles in Poland within its missile shield. The Central European elements are to protect the United States and a large part of the European continent against missiles that states like Iran might launch. The government has completed its talks with the United States on the main radar treaty, while the negotiations on the complementary SOFA treaty, dealing with U.S. soldiers' status on Czech territory still continue. Experts from both countries have not yet solved the taxes issue in the treaty. So far it is not clear whether Rice will sign both treaties in the Czech Republic or only the main one. The radar treaties must be ratified by Czech parliament and signed by President Vaclav Klaus to take effect.
